i'm not positive, but i have heard they do fit. you could get the owner to measure the center bore for you. good luck

Also something to consider before buying is the backspacing.

Backspacing should be similar to stock 2nd gen wheels... And, as long as the truck they came off of had a full float rear axle you should be good to go as far as the center bore is concerned...

You might have to trim the center bore like you do to run H2 wheels... Router and a flush-cut bit. It is actually really easy to do.

I have some older (1990?) Chevrolet 8 bolt steel rims 16" x 8" on my truck right now. They fit with no issues, but the back spacing is a bit diffrent - they stick out a little bit more than the stockers did. It doesn't effect anything except being able to see the rear brake drums more from dirrectly behind the truck. If you want to see how they look and fit, ask the seller if you can try them on before you buy them. I'd let you do that if I were selling some rims. Good luck.

I need to make a correction. Those steel rims I bought off of a Chevy are aftermarket rims. They are the wagon wheel or star design. But since they are aftermarket rims the center hole is big enough to fit all three makes of trucks. All three manufacturers used the same bolt pattern for 8 lug trucks until ford switched to a metric spacing when they introduced the super duty. After that, things started getting complicated like big rear disk brake rotors and 20" diameter rims. Dodge and GM still use the same 8 bolt pattern they used to, the only catch is the inside diameter of the center circle on the GM rims is a little smaller than the outside diameter on our beefy front axles. There are threads about using factory H2 (GM) aluminum rims on Dodge trucks by enlarging that center circle with a router (like you would find in a wood shop). I'm sorry if I gave you false hope.
