Hy CAJUN CRAW FISH, if you go to the tech tips, at the top of the page, then scroll down to the "Big Bolt' area, the last item there is a very comprehensive article, hope that helps.

Hy jimmyporter, I'm afraid those wheels are not even close, they are an eight hole mount, and we require a ten stud mount system. I'm very suspect of wheels dimensioned in metric units, I know there must be some intersections but I'm not sure how to convert them to imperial dimensions. I believe the widest Accuride wheels that will fit these vehicles are 6.75", hope that helps.

Hy guys, the Accuride part number for the wheels that fit these trucks, stud wise is 28160, which is 22.5" X 6.75". The older trucks had a smaller center hole, and seeing as these wheels are "hub piloted" you will probably have to have a spacer made up by a machine shop to make up the difference for the larger bore of this wheel, hope that helps.

Are you sure, or did you mean to say 19.5"? I'm unaware of a current or any accuride wheel with the 10 lug on 7.25" circle and 22.5" diameter rim.

Again, check the big bolt wheel and tire tech tip for details and ideas, also about those adapter bushings to use newer wheels on old hubs.

Hy Grigg and guys, Grigg you are correct, my mistake Accuride p/n 28160 is ten stud on 8.75" bolt circle, thanks for catching my mistake.

1 mm. = .03937" next time you have to make the conversion.
