The Stovebolt Site Forums The Parking Lot Tons 'o Fun Wheel Info

Some while back, I had a disagreement with someone, I don't remember who, over eight lug bolt patterns. We agreed to disagree and went our separate ways. I said that in 1999 ALL manufacturers changed to 8 on 170mm from the older 8 on 6.5". He said only FORD changed. Well, I learned something, (at last.) He was right and I was wrong. So Apologies to whoever he is. I also learned that good, long tern friends who run tire shops can be wrong, too. There are also mistakes on the internet, imagine that!

Below is a link to the most definitive list of wheel information I have yet found. Use it in good health. Don't be like I was; to quick on the mouth!

Later,

Les

Thanks Les I have been trying alot of different options for wheels for my 50 1 ton this should give me some information when snooping around the scrap yard.

FWIW, at least some of that info on the list is wrong, though; they list '67 Chevrolet 1/2 ton trucks as 5 lug, but everyone knows that it wasn't until '71 and disk brakes that they went to 5 lug wheels; '70 back was all 6 on 5.5". (I thought I should mention that for posterity's sake.)
