Looking at buying some rims and tires off Offerup and the bolt pattern is in 8x165.1.
Will these fit on my 8x6.5 lug pattern?
Thanks in advance

Do you know what the wheels were on?
The 8 lug pattern is the same on GM trucks through 2010; after that they went to a wider metric pattern. Ford and Dodge made the change somewhere in that timeframe as well. I know the Hummer H2 factory mags will fit the OBS truck so they'll also fit a square body. Those are 17" diameter and the GMT 800 series PY0s are 16" so they can still work with a stock size range tire.
This picture is the PY0 with the OBS center cap, was on an OBS Crew Cab I saw at work one day. Got a picture of it with my truck, since I don't often see two of the longboys together.....

They are aftermarket wheels that came off a 1997 Ford F250. I know when Ford made the Super Duty they changed the lug pattern so I think I’m safe. Just wanted to make sure

The Ford wheels may have a different offset. I was looking at an 8 lug Ford truck today with some of their factory alloys, similar to the "bullet hole" style with rivets around the edges of the wheel center. The Ford full floater axle doesn't have the hub offset that the GM one does, so the hub sticks out further and the surface where the lug nuts sit may be a different offset or distance in relation to the brakes and leaf springs. Just something to look at....

Verify the hub hole diameters. Dodges have about a 1/4" larger diameter hub hole than the Chevys. Can't recall how fords stack up to the others regarding that.

Dodge (or Ram) are still using 8x6.5(165.1) bolt pattern on the 2500/3500 trucks.
