Jul 21st, 2025 | | | | Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 90 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: Jan 2011 Posts: 90 | I see a lot of posts from people, trying too find what 16 inch wheels will fit their truck. I just bought a set of rims with tires from a 95 chevy single rear wheel 1 ton 16 inch . They are 8 lug Back spacing gives you around 1/8 - 3/16 of an inch clearance on stock tierod ends clearanceall round not hitting any part of the fenders bolt pattern perfect, and stud length with original lug nuts also perfect.
So anyone looking too mount a set of 16" rims on 8 lugs may want too give these a look. Ryan

Your white wheels seam to me as after-market wheels from the mark Mangel back in the 80s

My truck | | | | | Joined: May 2011 Posts: 1 New Guy | | New Guy Joined: May 2011 Posts: 1 | RyanT99 wheels appear to be aftermarket available for single wheel 1 ton and 3/4 ton trucks. I am no expert but my info, and it could very well be wrong, that 8 lug wheels from the 3 big mfg were same except one had a different center hole. again my sources may be goofy. I have a 50 chevy 3600, dually w/flat bed. Not sure what is original but fronts are 15", 8lug, split rims, Rears, 16" split 8 lug. I would like to change to a non split rim as they scare heck out of me as I had a friend killed by one. Again my sources are sometimes goofy so I am seeking help here. I have been told dually wheels from mid 90's and earlier will work on my truck. Anyone verify or correct this for me.
thanks
