Default factory specs? 95 K2500 8Lug chevy

What is the factory specs for ordering aftermarket wheels for a 1995 Chevy K2500 8lug Suburban 4x4 ...ie..8x165.1, 8x170 does anyone know for sure? Thanks

---AutoMerged DoublePost---

also i have only found one suspension lift for this truck? why is it that the 8lug is hard to get a suspension kit for? Or am i just not lookin in the right places?

your suburban should have the same suspension as a pickup, so finding them should not be that hard (i havent looked to be honest). the hardest part might be for finding one for a diesel

it seems that all the kits for trucks are for 6lug only it usually states that this kit will not work on 8lug trucks...and mine is 8lug...

8x6.5 is your lug pattern. 14mm studs IIRC.

Pro comp, BDS, etc make a lift for it. It's the same as the k2500 pickup.

correct. as for the reason why the lift wont work from a 1/2 ton truck. the upper control arms are 12" apart on a half ton, theyre 14" apart on the 2500 and up. therefore they use different control arms so the lift makes it different

i have a 93 2500 with a 350 gas engine and 6lug wheels and the lift kit for it will not work on my 95 2500 suburban so its not just a 1500 to a 2500 difference...it has something to do with 6lug and 8lug but i dont know why the lug would even matter at all.
