1986 GMC G3500 Rally Custom Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1986 GMC G3500 Rally Custom uses an 8x165.1 bolt pattern and comes equipped with 16x6.5 wheels at a 31 offset. Upgrading to compatible sizes gives you real options: stick with 16-inch in 6.5, 7, or 8 widths, or go bigger with 17-inch wheels in 8, 8.5, or 9-inch widths, or 18-inch at 8 inches wide. Since this truck runs square (not staggered), your choice of width is purely about stance and clearance preference.
The 8x165.1 bolt pattern is specific to this truck, so verify your wheel's lug holes match exactly. Your center bore measures 117.0 millimeters; if a wheel's bore exceeds that dimension, you'll need hub-centric rings to ensure proper centering. Wider wheels and aggressive offsets can contact your fender wells and suspension components, so choose conservatively if this is your first modification.
Every wheel we list bolts straight onto your Rally Custom and ships free across the lower 48 states. Carolina Forged, Vision, WELD Off-Road, American Truxx, Black Rhino, Fuel 1PC, American Racing, and Tuff all stock fitments for your truck right now.
