Will 1995- 2007 8 lug rims fit on our trucks?
I've seen a few good buys lately on used wheels and tires. Specifically take offs from brand new trucks. Does anyone know if these newer rims will fit on our trucks? My truck has the 3/4 ton 8 lug style with 9/16" studs and the full floating Eaton axle.
Also, would our lug nuts need to be changed to match the angle of the newer (metric) wheel's sockets (or whatever that part of the wheel is called that the lugs tighten against)? I know the new lugs are metric but am not sure if the angle on them is the same as on our standard nuts. Thanks in advance! |

As long as they are 8x6 1/2 pattern they will work. But you can also take them to a reputable machine shop and have them drilled for your pattern.

I stole this picture from Classic Heartbeat's website.
Not the best picture, but one truck that I remember running these wheels.

Here's my 72 3/4 I like they way they look. I picked up some new take-offs for $375.00
