they r 8 lug...but definitely 6 1/4 or 158.75 mm.  the hubs have adaptor plates with 6 1/2" wheels mounted. and no the 6 1/2 wheels will not fit if I take the adaptors off

You have got my curiosity peaked. I've messed with a lot of eight lug stuff over the years and the only variation that I was aware of was Ford's switch in 99 from 6.5" to 170mm. I'm assuming that this is an old Dana 60 with drum brakes? I'll do some checking to see what I can find.

Do you know for a fact that it was from a truck? Might be from an industrial application. That's an oddball pattern for an 8-bolt truck axle for sure.

yes, dana 60 with drum brakes...ive searched the net for hours, even calling a few companies that made adaptor plates, searched military(foreign n domestic) databases to no avail.

I don't know what its original application was, but its the rearend currently on my 40 chevy pick up rat rod...it has a military trailer for a bed so I was sure it was old military

You've got me. I've even checked some odd tractor applications. The only 8 lug patterns that I can find are 6.5", 170mm, and 180mm center to center. I would like to know what you find. Post us some pictures of this project and the rear end as well.

THE NEW GM TRUCK WHEELS ARE OFF A BIT FROM THE EARLY 2000'S, MY NEPHEW TRIED TO PUT SOME NEWER STOCK WHEELS ON HIS HD & HAD TO BUY ADAPTORS TO MAKE THEM FIT. HE SAID THEY WERE ONLY OFF BY A LITTLE BIT, MAYBE THAT'S WHAT YOU HAVE.

[Junkman]

Yeah, the new GMs have 6.5 just to make it awkward.

[Jordan White]

Yeah I agree on posting pics, no mention of 8x6.25" anywhere. I doubt the military would have used an oddball bolt pattern, so my guess is some sort of custom application that someone else got ahold of and had adapters made for it.
