Are the 8 lug bolt patterns and wheel offsets for GM's, the same as Ford or Dodge? I may have an opportunity to pick up a cheep set of takeoffs.

After that they went to the 8-170mm pattern. coktm 06-26-2005, 05:53 PM Thanks, anyone got the answer for Dodge wheels? Kartattack 06-26-2005, 09:56 PM GM and Dodge are the same, AFAIK.

Yup, they're the same.;) RVC 06-27-2005, 11:31 AM I was told that the dodge/GM bolt pattern are the same but the axle diameters are different. This causes the dodge rim to be lug centric on the GM axle vs. GM stock hub centric configuration.

If the price is right get em. _nar_ 06-28-2005, 01:55 AM Well I'm running some rims off a dodge (thanks to jim) that aren't quite hub centric, about 1/4 inch bigger all around.. They seem fine... As tim says, if the price is right get them.. If you are ordering brand new then might as well get hub centric ones.

I have heard of a couple of people breaking lug bolts off on their daily drivers, when going to a lug centric rim configuration.
