8 lug convert or leave it? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Around '97 ford changed their 8 lug bolt circle to a different size...something metric...and at some point around the same time they went to hub centric wheels, meaning the wheel was centered by the hub instead of by conical lug nuts.
That shouldn't be an issue for you if you get pre '97 wheels
Before that all 8 lugs would interchange, you just need to check backspace

Those caps Tony has are stock caps that go with those wheels.
