Chevy 8-lug Aluminum Wheel Identification
 

I found this 2006 2500HD for sale online. I want wheels like these, but can't identify year or application (and the dealer selling doesn't know). If I zoom in on the picture it looks like they are 17". Any ideas?

Those look like the 2010-2013 Dodge 2500 wheels. A customer of mine had them on his truck. Same bolt pattern as GM, just have to get the center cap for Chevy or GMC. 17”

You're right! I didn't think to check Dodge.

From what I see online, the Dodge wheel has a slightly larger 9/16" (14.3mm stud) AND slightly larger 122.5mm center bore hole, compared to GM's 14mm stud and 116.7mm center bore hole. It obviously works, but is it a good idea not truly being lug centric or hub centric? Is is close enough to never cause problems?

Hub centric and lug centric is always up for debate. When the factory builds the wheels, they make it hub centric. Aftermarket wheel companies makes lug centric to accommodate as many vehicles as they can.

I’ve always used the bolt and go approach. If it vibrated, get hub centric rings. Of course you’ll have the “engineers” who’ll say don’t do it, load rating will be compromised, blah, blah, blah. I’ve had many trucks with so many different wheels and never ever had a problem. The “engineers” will say I’m lucky. I say nope, you’re just overthinking it. So you’re gonna have to decide whether to listen to the “engineers” or listen to those who’ve done it with no issues. Plenty of people I know have Dodge wheels and never a problem. The choice is yours.

For 4 decades the big three used the same 8 lug 6.5" (165.1mm) bolt circle wheels.
I ran Dodge steel wagon wheels on my 1986 F250 plow pig.

Ford used 8 on 6.5" to 1997 and some 1998 models
GM used 8 on 6.5" to mid 2010. 2011 and later are 8 on 180mm.
Chrysler appears to be using 8 on 6.5" in 2020.

This is just the lug bolt pattern not the backspacing and rim width.
