8 lug wheels on your truck?

You can find an 8 lug pattern on must larger SUVs and trucks. While all the major manufacturers have trucks with 8 lug wheels, significant differences between them exist. Measuring the diameter of the hub and the imaginary circle between the lug nuts will help to size the new wheel appropriately. It use to be that a Chevy wheel would work on a Ford truck, but that’s not necessarily the case today. Purchasing your wheels online eliminates this problem as you can get them custom drilled for your application.

Sometimes a wheel adapter might be needed and there are some advantages and disadvantages to the use of them.
