3/4 ton wheel interchange question
« on: January 28, 2012, 05:54:41 pm »
i just bought a 93 3/4 ton suburban tonight. it has new tires on it but steel wheels. i would like to find a nice later model aluminum wheel to fit. does anyone have advice on interchange to later trucks or suggestions on what will look good? thanks!

You have almost endless choices.  Your lug pattern is 8x6.5.  GM 8 lug fits all the way to 2007 maybe newer.  Dodge and Ford also work but Ford changed at least 10 years ago.
