New Wheels on old Axles

[LovesDunes]

Will wheels from a newer 8 lug chevy truck have the same bolt pattern as the old 8 lug axles on my Blazer? The axles are from a 79 3/4 ton pickup.

Yes. My friend ran factory aluminum wheels from an '03 2500HD on his '78 3/4 ton axles in his '84 Blazer.

ford was the stupid ones to change. gm and dodge still the same.

one thing to check, and I'm not sure what GM uses on the newer ones, but some wheels are hub centric meaning centered by a machines lip on the hub and others are centered with the lug nut accorns. Might duble check that. Also make sure it will fit over the hubs in the center hole.

I am running the factory alloy 8 lugs on my 1985 k-3500, they center up perfect on the hub. I just took them off for the summer. These came off of a 2002 duramax. Hope that helps.

I see a lot of people using Hummer wheels on their rigs
