Would these fit?

Ok I know we went through the rims discussion here not long ago. And I know that Ford 8 lug rims up till 96/97 will work, and all dodge 8 lug rims. It is a 77 F250 4x4 8 lug. But for GM all I got was some fit some dont. So does anyone know if 2001 GM 3/4 ton 8 lug rims would fit my old ford? Or would these be some that wouldnt fit?

Thanks

I cant answer your question, but if you can see the rims, take a tape measure and measure the center of the lug holes, in opposing sides. That should measure exactly 6.5". If they dont, they might not fit.

I stole this off of the internet.(http://www.rallyamerica.com/Measure.html)

<table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" height="1698" width="484"><tbody><tr><td colspan="8" height="134" valign="top" width="566"><table border="0" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"><tbody><tr><td colspan="8" height="134" valign="top" width="566">
Bolt Circle

4, 6, and 8 lug patterns.
Measure from the center of one stud hole directly across the center of the wheel,
to the center of the opposite hole (see diagrams) mesurement
should equal the bolt circle diameter.

</td> </tr> <tr> <td height="164" valign="top" width="42">
</td> <td height="164" valign="top" width="21">
</td> <td height="164" valign="top" width="11">

</td> <td height="1256" valign="top" width="21">
</td> <td colspan="8" height="1256" valign="top" width="571">
5 lug patterns.
Mesure from the center of one stud hole, skipping the adjacent hole,
to the outer of the furthest stud hole.That mesurement should
match the sizes on our wheel list's.

The bolt circle will be right, but you'll want to check the wheel's center bore diam. to make sure it will fit there. Also, you probably won't like the offset (backspacing) of the late-model GM wheel - pulls the tire way inboard from the fender lip. Actually, your truck may not even like the offset - possible clearance issues. If you cannot do a test-fit first, be very cautious in your purchasing decisions. Measure, measure and measure again!

The bolt pattern is the same on the GM - its the center bore that is the issue. SOME of them won't fit over the D60 hubs in the rear of the F-250's and 350's (or if you have added a D60 front or 70 rear).

I'd say if you're looking to buy and aren't sure then either drive the truck over and test fit one (try a rear one if you're 2wd, or either if you're 4wd w/ a D60 front). If you can'd do this then take a caliper or tape measure and measure the center hole on rimd you KNOW fit, and compare with the ones you're looking at buying.

*edit* - darn looks like I took a little longer to type in my reply than you did - haha
