Hello All

Does anyone happen to know what the backspacing is on the 8lug 16x6.5 wheels are? I read that it may be 4.25 but i am having an awful time finding a spare wheel. I am trying to keep the same 235/85/16 on the spare.

They are the same wheels as a M1008 CUCV , shouldn't be hard to find . Post a want ad in the parts wanted section of the classifieds ,it's free.
8 on 6.5" bolt circle, center hub diameter 4.50", 9/16-18unf studs.

should be very easy to find in a junkyard. Look for any 70-80's 8 lug wheels for Chevy/Gmc 3/4 20 series & 1 ton 30 series trucks or vans. All the same till they switched to metric studs and lugs. Metric will not work.

Also dodge will be the same. Difference on a dodge is the hub circle will be bigger but makes no difference as these are lug centric rims not hub so the inner opening wider does not impact anything and is a very small difference.

These are also very common in white or steel wagon wheels for boat trailers/utility trailers with 8 lugs.
