1984CUCV

I am looking at some 35 12.5X16.5 tires with 8 lug rims that came off a 2001 3/4 ton dodge and wanted to know if these rims will fit my CUCV. I have 6 inch lift so i am not worried about the height just if the rim bolt pattern is the same? Anyone have any expertise with this. A quick response will be greatly appriciated. Thanks and hope you all have a great new year.

They should be. I would worry more about the offset.

I have four of these Dodge rims, brand new but have never tried them on my M1008A1. I can measure the setback distance from the back of the rim to where it bolts to the differential if you want. I have been told the bolt pattern is the same for Chevy, Mopar and Ford 8-lug rims. I also have five H1 12-bolt rims and Wrangler tires that I bought and may decide to sell because I just don't have the funds to modify my CUCV with the lift and spacers required to make them work on my truck. I live in West Melbourne Florida by the way.

Older 8 lug will fit if the center hole is large enough. Some newer trucks has gone to a metric bolt pattern. Wayne

I run 4 of these rims on my truck and dont find any problems,there presently fitted with 36 12.50 16.5 goodyear wrangler RT tyres of a hummer, no lift and just a little trim on the front wings (fenders ) .

The modern (okay, 94+) Dodge rims will fit but the backspacing is too deep and their might be hub issues. Their backspacing is around 6" and the center hole ranges from will barely fit to get out the mill...





Oh, and GM and Dodge still use the standard 8x6.5" lug pattern even today. I have rims off of a 2007 GMC 1 ton van on Big Ugly. They fit fine. Ford went to the slightly different metric 8 lug pattern with the advent of the modern Super Duties in the 1999 model year.

Sold my CUCV and won't likely be around much. If you want a good forum with excellent knowledge of 73-87 GM trucks where folks won't judge you for modifying YOUR vehicle, please join us at www.ColoradoK5.com .

Oh, and don't EVER buy anything from Alfa Heaven. Do a search.

To date, everybody uses 8 on 6.5 except Ford. They use 8 on 170mm. That **** metric stuff....

i was told a dodge wheel will fit on a chevy but a chevy wont fit a dodge something about the center hole

Having played around in the junk yard, I would say that some of the 8 bolt rims are interchangable, but just being able to jam it on does not mean it is a proper fit. Check offset as mentioned in this thread. Also center ring can be slightly different . chevy duals use a ring clamp system that is different....It is best to stick with rims that fit on axeles. This is where the rubber meats the road so don't mess up. Some interchangability is there, but it is less than it would seem from just looking at rims. Good luck be safe.
