looking at buying this guys wheels here is the email he sent me:

"the ones off my truck are bolt pattern 8x 165.1. stud size 14x 1.5 and center bore of either 166.6 or 177 im not sure. its just a standard size for my truck wheel for my truck. i have a 89 chevy k2500."

Will these fit on mytruck if i put coil spacerers on the front. Please let me know anyone...

 

measure the center holes in your wheels and in the ones he got, i had a problem with chevy wheels one time, the center holes were to small to go over the hub, but the bolt patteren is the same

 

thats the problem im away on work until friday, and cant measure the center holes.. DOes anyone know what the center holes are on a 83 f250 diesel 2wd.

 

80-98 F-250 / F-350 (OLD BODY)
2WD Bolt pattern : 8X6.5 Lug Size 9/16" Bore : 125mm

 

so if my bore is 125mm will these wheels fit or no?

 

If they are aftermarket wheels, they should fit with no problems. The wheels on my truck were on a 69 GMC and a 91 3500 before they got to my truck. If they are stock chevy wheels, then the center bore may be an issue. If you have a semi-float rear axle it probably wont matter either way as it's the huge hub protruding from the full float axles that wont go through the wheels.

 

im not sure if i have a semi-float rear axle i am so so so new to the whole truck world let alone the diesel world. does anyone know if they should fit???

 

Okay, well his bolts are 14mm which is a bit under 9/16" honestly i dont know. you being 2wd, you should be good to go but if the center hole is too big ont he rims it wont work very well and you will have speed vibrations, the purpose of the center hole is to center the rim prior to torquing the lug nuts. I would see if you can go over and try it on, i would not buy them blind.

 

he just sent me this email:
"the back of the center cap measure 5 5/16". the center of the wheel measures at 5 1/8"

anyone know if these will work...?

 

" I dont know what he mean" Hope we get pics soon! Just go try them on, is this a distance deal? I have no idea what he means and where he measured, i dont know if he did it right or if he gives a ****, look bro, sooner or later (sooner) you gotta take matters into your own hands, we can guess all day but frankly "its up to you in the end." I dont know. Go try them on.

 

My guess is they will not fit.

And if the wheel will not fit over the rear hub, they will not fit the front hub right either.

The center goes over a shoulder on the front hub the same size as the rear hub.

 

zackly!!!!!:-d:-d:-d

 

Got me wondering, I have to run to the store, so I will measure my axle while I am out.

Post back in a little bit.

 

The axle flange is 4.75" and the shoulder at the wheel is larger.

For some reason 5.15" keeps coming into my mind for the wheel center bore.

That is just enough bigger than 5.125" that it will not fit.

Guess if you really wanted the wheels, you could have a machine shop turn the center hole a little bigger for you.

The pre 97 wheels are supposed to be lug centric wheels, but the way the stock wheels fit, they are both lug and hub centric.

 

he just emailed me and told me they are aftermarket wheels... here is a picture of the wheel its 33 inch
