Every wheel we sell for the K2500 is cross-referenced against the factory 8x165.1 bolt pattern and 117mm hub bore. The stock wheel is a 16x6.5 at +31 offset. All orders ship free within the continental US.
1997 Chevrolet K2500 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1997 Chevrolet K2500 uses an 8x165.1 bolt pattern with a 117.0mm hub bore. The factory wheel measures 16x6.5 with a 31mm offset. You can upgrade to wider or taller sizes, including 17-inch and 18-inch options up to 20x8.5, all in non-staggered square fitment.
The 8x165.1 bolt pattern is exclusive to your truck; no other pattern will work safely. Since your wheel's center bore must accommodate the 117.0mm hub, use hub-centric rings if you choose a wheel with a larger bore. Aggressive offsets and wider widths on this truck can cause fender and suspension contact, so verify your specific setup before purchase.
Every wheel we stock for your K2500 is confirmed to bolt on and ships free to the lower 48 states. Carolina Forged, Vision, WELD Off-Road, American Truxx, Black Rhino, Fuel 1PC, American Racing, and Tuff all carry options in your fitment.

The 8x165.1 bolt pattern determines which wheels physically bolt onto your truck, while the 117mm center bore ensures a hub-centric fit. The factory equips this truck with 16x6.5 wheels at a +31 offset.
