new 8 lug wheels on older truck?
#16
gm changed the pattern from 8x165(8x6.5 the forever standard 8 lug pattern till now) to 8x170 to increase towing capacity..... which makes no sense.
a new 1/2 ton 6 lug truck is rated to tow more than my 3/4 ton with 8 lugs.
strange.

they are 180. i was thinking ford. wanted to put some ford 20's on my truck but they dont fit either. i know a guy who drilled out ford wheels and put them on chevy. look pretty good. not sure how safe it was but he drove from florida to arizona on business and towed several times. i do not recommend this, just making comment.
