88-98 steel wheel questions

[original balzer]

I have a friend who has a set of basicaly new steel wheels and caps/lug nuts, he took off his 96 k2500 8 lug, just after he bought it. These are the base line wheels for these trucks.
My questions are.
Do they have a funky off set that will suck them in too far on a solid axle truck?
Also will the center hole fit over a D60 hub?
Will the lug nuts fit a 1985 D60?

I would check myself but they are about an hour and a half drive away. But if they will work I can have them for free.

offset should be fine but its a matter of opinion, they should fit over the dana 60(could be wrong but i think ive done it before) and i believe the lug nuts on the 98 are metric thread as opposed to the standard size of the 85

They will fit on, offset is a a little goofy but works. They are hubcentric and fits on 60s with stock lugs....

What he said. Should be 16x6.5's with somewhere around 4.5" of backspacing.

I also believe the lug nuts won't work but hey, I could be wrong. I know they went to a metric thread sometime after the rise of IFS. Definitely try to thread them on by hand before you break out the impact.

Running some 2007 steelies on Big Ugly. Fit and work just fine and hoping to eventually put some of the newer style 16" OEM aluminum wheels on it.

you can get a set of lugnuts off of ebay that is the 9/16 for your truck and have the threaded outside so you can run the stock center caps.

Im gunna probabaly have him bring one next time he comes down and try it on there to see how it looks. I would like to just go with stockton wheels stock look only in a 16x10. I plan on 42" tires so the skinny wheels probabaly wont be ideal.

The backspacing and narrow width would probably be problematic for you. My 38x11ish tires rubbed the drag link when the steering stops were in the stock position. Just enough sidewall bulge to do it. Yours would be worse.
