New rims on our truck? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Big69C20 Toy · 05-06-2002, 01:18 AM

Anyone know if 8 lug rims on the new 2500 and 3500 trucks fit on our trucks? Same lug patter and everything? I'm looking for some new rims and thought this might be a good swap. Thanks for the info.

I'd be interested in seeing some too, except I need 6 lug.

Someone on this board has the late model rims and found some lug nuts that will accept the caps .

The only foreseeable prolem then is that the rear end is FF and the caps wont fit

Here is the link for the adapter lug nuts that will make the new rims work. On the new rims the center caps are held on by threads on the outside of the lug nuts and all the ones GM makes are metric. As far as the center caps clearing the full floater hubs someone on here said that if you put an extra regular lug nut on per stud it would space it out far enough to clear and it still looks OK, but I have not tried it. Any way heres the link
