Are Chevy/GMC 8 lug wheels the same as Dodge and Ford?

I am looking for some Stock GMC/Chevy 8 lug wheels to put on my 90 Sub. I have found some for a Ford, some for a Dodge, but all the CHevy ones are too far to drive and too much to ship.
Is the hub cap locating bosses the same on all the 70'-80's 8 lug wheels or are they different? Is the hub hole the same or different?
I want to get hub caps and don't want to put wheels on and find out only Ford or Dodge caps will fit.

I thought Chevy/GMC had the smallest center hole, but it is the Hub Cap tabs that are really important to me.

I have rims of a 80s 3/4 ton Ford on my 81 C20 with the Chevy hub caps.

Great, that is good to hear. It will make the search a lot easier.

Caps fit both - chevy hub opening is smallest as GM wheels are hub-centric. Others are lug-centric and hub opening is larger than GM hubs - and that is fine. Either type will work on GM.

Those are the exact rims I want. I found one, but the other 3 I got are 6 1/2 wide. So, I had to put the Ford rim on the rear and then I will keep looking till I find 3 more.
Those look great on your truck.

Thank you .. The 16x7 Accuride is stamped on the outer lip . seems to be pretty plentiful in the Portland , OR. area .. Check your vans / ambulances .. More than happy to keep an eye open if needed .. Added the stock GM Beauty ring , fit nice ..
