I want to install bigger wheels and tires on the Power Wagon. I will be looking for USED stuff.
Are all 8 lug wheels use the same bolt circle whether it is a Dodge, Ford or a Chevy? I'd use the wheels that I have but they are narrow and ugly as a mud fence.

It looks like from what I have found, Dodge 8 lug wheels share the same 6 1/2" bolt circle as the Chevy trucks do. The Ford pattern is slightly larger.

Untill the late 90s or early 2000s. 8X6.5 is the pattern. Aftermarket wheels are usually universal requiring different lugnuts for installation.. ..

Ford 8 lug wheels of the same vintage will bolt on. Chevy wheels will not fit over the hub.

They all share the same bolt pattern but lug centric versus hub centric.

Later fords around 98ish? went to a different metric bolt pattern . Offset changed on the 94+ Dodges..

Avoid 16.5 wheels as tires are getting harder to find.

If that truck has the stock full-time dana 44 wheel bearing for 75...convert it with 80-93 knuckles or swap in a dana 60 front before going to bigger tires.

Ford actually has used 3 different 8 lug patterns, so thy are a crapshoot for fit. Most steel aftermarket 8x6.5 patern will fit with the stock lugnuts and clear the axlestubs. I have run a 15x8" with 0 offset and 35's on a 79 RC with 5" lift with issues.It had Dana 60's Front and Rear FF from a 1 ton single wheel.There caliper and drums had to be milled slightly for wheel clearance.The 35's were not always avable in 16's back then.

16.5s are available but very limited on sizes unless your lifting it for pudding than Super swamper has Several.
The 94 up wheels for dodge have a different offset and can cause tires to rub. Same with ford rims offset is diff. I had ford rims with 235/85 16s and close to lock the tires rubbed

I have 94 Dodge rims on my 69 truck, all I had to get were the different lugnuts as the 94 nuts are 9/16" and the 69's were 1/2". Just use Dodge wheels and everything is good.

in 1999 ford went to a metric pattern that only fits newer than 1999 fords---up until that date all 8 lug 3/4 wheels were the same (6.5) but with an alert that GM used a smaller index hole (hub) than dodge/ford/IH---so if you had a stock steel GM wheel it wouldnt go over the hub of your dodge or ford---however all aftermarket wheels used the larger index hole so anyone could mount up....bob

Thanks everyone. I'm going junkyardin' this weekend and the info helps a bunch!
