need quick answer on 5 on 5-1/2

Post by wt4speed#2 »

Will the 5 on 5-1/2 wheels that fit our trucks fit on say a '80-'85. My son has borrowed a truck (switch with his best friend ) and has a flat and no spare. I belive it is an'84-85 as it is the same body style as my '80 model but the interior (dash) is different, That was the only thing I noticed different

My '80 had the same wheels on it. as long as the center hole fits, it should work.

HTH!
