Will these 8 lug wheels fit? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

I am looking at a set of Centerline wheels off a 1997 Dodge truck w/ 8 lug. I know the ford won't fit but how about the Dodge?

Take a look...

The bolt pattern is the same 8x6.5 I would check the backspacing though

Oh btw 97 and older ford f250/350 wheels have the same 8x6.5 pattern aswell

as far as I am aware yes, should be 8 on 6.5 , I know ford went metric but I heard they switched back in 05? not sure.

just fyi, the 33 12.50 on my c20 did rub and my front had slightly taller springs.

those were new bfg a/t, the worn out 33 12.50's that were on it did not.

good call on the backspacing sanford.

What about brake clearance? I thought stocks were 16.5 on the c20's?

Stocks are 16.5 but 16's work great and tires are a lot easier to get.

I'm pretty sure on the older 8 lug rims the difference is the center holes.

I called my buddy who has both Dodge 8 lug trucks and Chevy 8 lug trucks and he says that the wheels will interchange and that the late model are the ones that don't fit the others. He went on to say that he had sold someone a set of 17 inch Dodge 8 lug wheels that he had on a Chevy 3/4 ton now.

good to know, it just popped in my head that the calibers might not clear.
