as long as there 8 lug and 16inch or bigger should fit im sure the bolt pattern on all american 3/4ton and bigger with 8lugs are 8/6.5" im sure as long as there 8lug theyll fit

new body style ford wheels will NOT fit since they are metric, must be 8x6.5 and they will fit

All GM 8 bolt rims have the same bolt patern and spacing as the 8 bolt Dodge and the 8 bolt Ford rims (Ford trucks before the Super Duty era). The catch with GM is the size of the opening in the center of the rim that the axle goes threw is just a bit smaller (1/4 inch) diameter than the rest. If the rims are aluminum, you can use a router (wood working tool) to open that hole up to the size you need. Also, any aftermarket rims were built to fit all of the big three's trucks (old ford patern). The other thing to be concerned with is the diameter of your rear brake drum. It will probably mandate 16 inch diameter rims or larger.

I've got a set of aftermarket rims on my truck that came of of a chevy 3/4 ton. They cost me $75 and a coupe cans of spray paint. Check your local junk yards.

thanks, very helpful now the trick is to find something for under $100. I really am wishing now that i wouldnt have sold my old wheels since i have to put 285/75r16 tires or bigger on the rims I have, well i guess I wont make tha mistake again:argh:
