The earlier trucks were all 6 lug whether 2wd or 4wd.

My C10's 5 lug wheels are from a '90s model truck.


edited to add: I just bought tires today, and picked up an identical spare... it came from a '97 Tahoe, evidently right before they went to 16" rims.

Watch the backspacing, 88 and up may be different.  I have a set of 95 rallies for my truck.  Since I put on the Bell Tech spindles they rub on the lower ball joint.  The older 15X6 1/2 rallies clear fine.

astro vans got the 5x5 pattern along with 91-96 caprices, including the Impala ss with the 17 inch wheels.

Resurrecting an older thread, but I've been looking at a set of 16" wheels from an '86 Camaro.  I know zero about the offset or center hub spacing requirement so wondering if anyone is familiar with them and if they'd work without issues.

I believe the camero wheels are 5X4-3/4 pattern so they wont work without adapters.

Thanks for the quick reply...

If I am reading what I have correctly, the stock lug pattern for our 1/2 ton trucks is 5X5 (vice 4.75);  Am I on the right track?

Yes that is correct. Our trucks are 5x5, GM car small pattern is 5x4.75, the 6 lug is 6x5.5, and I think the 8 lug is 8x6.5. someone correct me if Im wrong please.

Thanks for the info!

This place has already saved me from a lot of costly errors.  Hopefully your collective patience will continue as I learn more about fixing WonderTruck up!
