Installing Eagle Rims - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

72YellowBird · 04-19-2008, 05:02 AM

I am thinking of purchasing a set of Eagle rims on my 98 GMC 4x4 and I did a test fit before mounting the tires and found that the center bore of the rim was larger then the axle hub. So the weight of the truck is on the stud bolts instead of the axle hubs. I know there is a spacer kit available to make the hole in the rim match the truck.
I am wondering if anyone else has had this issue or does anyone know if there is year specfic rims available through Eagle for GM trucks??

Thanks

Sorry dont have any pics right now. Do you happen to know the center bore on your rims? My truck has the 6.5L diesel and 4X4 so i have a fair amount of weight on the front end. I want to make sure the rims will stand up and i will have no other issues with vibrations.
