H2 wheels on a Bullnose?
Do any of you guys have H2 wheels on your trucks? If so what size tires? Pictures if ya have them would be cool too. I have a set I was going to put on my 78 and never did.

What Chevrolet has the same number of lugs and same bolt circle pattern as a Ford?

As I recall, the H2 is based off the Tahoe.

Too much involved for simple rims IMO. GM bolts circles will not match. Can't even use new F150 wheels.

Part of me wishes the F250/350 pattern didn't change in 98.

H2 wheels are 8/6.5. Many people put them on gm 3/4 ton trucks. Bolt pattern should fit our old 8 lug fords but will the hub I don't know. I'd like to see them or the gm polished alum dura max wheels on an older ford.

The F250/350 8 bolt pattern is the same. they actually fit the rear. the ID has to be opened up a little to fit the front hubs, very simple.
