Title says it all, is the bolt pattern the same and is the offset similar?

I am 99% positive they will.
Here is a bump though for more eyes to see it. |

Re: 2005 8 lug chevy dually rims fit a 67 c30
There are differences in the newer wheels vs. the older wheels.
I pulled this out of Accuride's wheel catalog: http://www.accuridewheels.com/lighttruckwheels.pdf 1976-00 C/K 3500, P - Dual 16 x 6K 8H, 6 1/2" 5.00" 2440 - 80 29587(1) 2001-05 C/K 3500 - Dual 16 x 6.5J 8H, 6 1/2" 5.00" 2440 - 80 29588 So it looks like 2001 and newer is a wider wheel with the same offset. What doesn't show here is that the older wheels have a 4.56 center bore where the new ones have a 4.60 center. All GM dually wheels are hub centric (or centered by the hub) so the newer wheels might be a bit loose on the hub. This could cause vibration at road speeds or other ill handling. The other difference is that the older wheels specify a clamp plate with cone shaped lug nuts, while the newer wheels call for a GM swiveling lug nut. So my free advice is to run the correct wheels with the correct clamp plate and lug nuts. The last thing you want to happen is to lose a wheel/wheels or break all your lug nuts off on the road. It does happen.

Re: 2005 8 lug chevy dually rims fit a 67 c30
Yeah, I was concerned with the hub size and the fact that my lugs are not correct, I don't know if anyone sells the proper sized swivel nut for my small studs. The one I am looking at are so cheap and beat the heck out of my split rim type that no one will change the 30 year old tire off of. I guess I need 2000 or older to be safe. Time to call some junk yards, these new ones are so nice and shiny with no rust though.

Re: 2005 8 lug chevy dually rims fit a 67 c30
I failed to mention the difference in wheel stud size
![]() 67,68,69, and 70 have the 1/2 inch studs while the 71 and newer disc brake trucks have 9/16 studs. I would either upgrade your existing truck to 9/16 studs, or swap over to later disc brake stuff. You for sure would not want a wheel that was loose on your studs and your hub (the 2001-newer wheels would be loose on your hub and your wheel studs, a very dangerous situation). See this thread too: http://67-72chevytrucks.com/vboard/s...d.php?t=221948
