1979 Chevrolet K20 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Chevrolet K20 uses an 8x165.1 bolt pattern with a 117.0mm hub-centric center bore. The stock setup runs 15x8 wheels at 31mm offset. You can upgrade to 15-inch or 16-inch widths—choose from 15x7, 15x7.5, 15x8, 16x7, 16x7.5, or 16x8—all matching your truck's square (non-staggered) configuration without modification.
Only wheels with an 8x165.1 bolt pattern will fit your K20. Since the hub bore is 117.0mm, use hub-centric rings if your new wheels have a larger center bore to ensure proper seating and balance. Aggressive offsets or excessive widths may cause rubbing against fenders or suspension components, so stay within the compatible size range listed above.
Every wheel we list bolts straight onto your truck and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Carolina Forged, Vision, WELD Off-Road, American Truxx, Black Rhino, Fuel 1PC, American Racing, and Tuff all have options in stock and ready to ship.
