new 11-12 wheels
« on: March 04, 2012, 09:37:56 am »
I found a brand new set of '11-'12 2500 wheels and they say they only fit those trucks. Was wondering if anyone has tried to put these on a squarebody. Would it just be a matter of getting spacers to match that bolt pattern? Thanks for any info.

Im not sure. Best thing to do is compare the bolt pattern size and backspacing.

Thanks beastie. They say the new 8 lug wheels are a different bolt pattern. Was just wondering if anyone had tried to make them work yet. Thanks. Semper Fi!

Chevy 2500?

What year are the wheels? 

On chevy 8 lug wheels, the bolt pattern definitely matches up from 1967-2008 I know for sure.  Only problems you might run into is the backspacing, some of the newer wheels look too tucked in without spacers, though they fit without a problem (stock wheels that is).

     I believe they are 2011 - 2012.

The 2011-2012 8 lug wheels are not 8 x 6.5 like the older years. They say these wheels only fit those year trucks. I guess i'll look for something else. They are some nice looking wheels though. Thanks for the info guys!

 :)  For some reason I was thinking about an 11" or 12" WIDE wheel.  Brain Fart.

Maybe there are some adapters out there, or will be, since you'll likely want to space those wheels outboard anyway.

I did find however that a 2012 bolt pattern in 8x180.

the metric equivalent of our bolt pattern is an 8x165.1 bolt pattern.
