bolt pattern is the same, back spacing is probably different, but shouldn't be a problem.but it's kinda something you gotta try before you buy. don't wanna pick up some useless rims

that's on 8 lug rims. its cause ford has a larger full float hub on rear axles. dodge fit i believe, but chevy has the small hole

I concur
Ya they should bolt on. From what I've seen the Dodge has the biggest center and Chevy had the smallest. I often switch my rims around on dodges and fords.
