Yeah, that's why those five junkyard wheels I bought are now junk! One of them is now a tire chain basket and I used the others full of rocks to support fence posts in solid rock ground.
It should have been obvious but I got so fixated on the bolt pattern being the same. When you look at them, the old wheels' center portion is about the middle of the width of the wheel, but the newer ones are basically at the outside edge of the wheel. All "modern" wheels seem to be like this anymore.
My experience is strictly with the GMT400 4wd six hole wheels but I don't expect there is much difference with the 2wd five hole wheels.
