Most likely the bolt pattern is 8 x 6.5". Check is always a good idea. If the tires are really bad, JY wheels and even tires should fit in a 16" or 16.5" size. Donors can be up to early or mid '90's when the switch was made to metric bolt pattern.

FWIW there is very good selection of 17" aftermarket wheels for 8 x 6.5" bolt pattern in both steel and aluminum. Tires also.

The guy says tires are good.....I've heard that before....the wheels are 17.5 I have NO idea where to find affordable tires in that size which is a shame because the stock wheels and dog dishes look sweet on the truck....I will look to see if I can find some JY spindles and look at a brake swap...I already grabbed a 8 3/4 out of a 67 1/2 ton
