Will these used rims fit my truck?

Looking for some winter rims for truck in sig. These were apparently on a suburban 1980. Bolt pattern looks the same as my f350 and I will be getting 215/85/16 winters...will they fit?

no, they are chevrolet rims, the bolt pattern is the same but the center hole is smaller, on aftermarket wheels, the hole is the bigger size, that is why they always fit, but on factory wheels the chevy hole is the smallest of them all..i do not know the exact size, but i know this because i have a whole set of stock chevy wheel that will not fit..pass and wait to find aftermarket one or ford factory one as long as they are 1997 or older...

Thanks atillett. So you're confident these are chevy factory wheels then and not aftermarket? I sent the guy an email asking him to measure them just in case. If I could get the rims only for $150 or so, I'd be happy

when he sends the measurement back you need to measure right next to the drum on the back and the disc on the front, you more than likley, have a sterling axle, and my chevy wheels did not even come close to fitting outside flange, but yes they appear to be factory wheels, i have never seen aftermarket that look like factorys, but that does not mean there is not some out there. if you just want rims, standard steel wheels are inexpensive, i just ordered 4 16 by 8 rims from discount tire for just 56.00 a peice. so that is not a whole lot higher than those tires and you know the new ones will fit. also if they came from a suburban, they are more than likely chevy wheels.

You can pick up a new set of aftermarket steelies for about $75 a piece.
My AR Baja's that I have for my diesel were only $116 a piece new...

The guy replied with the measurement: 4 9/16"
Not wanting to take the wheel off, I took a rough measurement from the outside and it looks like it's around 4 7/8" - 5". So you're right atillett, they are too small. 17fordguy, thanks for the offer, but I checked out discount tire and they have some reasonable specials, and free shipping in the US from what I saw. I live 15 mins from the border, so I may go that route and pick them up in Vermont.

Thanks all!!
