Muncie Posted September 12, 2017 Share Posted September 12, 2017 (edited) 8 lug? could it be 6-1/2"?it appears everything popular 8 lug is 6-1/2" bolt circle - Ford, GM, Dodgehttp://www.roadkillcustoms.com/hot-rods-rat-rods/wheel-bolt-pattern-cross-reference-database.asp#axzz4sViYTR82 Edited September 12, 2017 by Muncie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Most Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DRIPTROIT 71 Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 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.

RAT-T Posted September 13, 2017 Share Posted September 13, 2017 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Junkman Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 Yeah, the new GMs have 6.5 just to make it awkward. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jordan White Posted September 14, 2017 Share Posted September 14, 2017 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.
