1996 GMC G3500 Magnavan Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
The 1996 GMC G3500 Magnavan uses an 8x165.1 bolt pattern with a 117.0mm hub-centric center bore. Your truck rolls on 16x6.5 stock wheels at 18mm offset. You can fit 16x7, 16x8, 17x8.5, 18x8, 18x8.5, and sizes up to 20x12, giving you plenty of upgrading options without needing staggered setup.
Pay close attention to that 8x165.1 bolt pattern—only wheels designed for it will fit your Magnavan. Since the center bore is 117.0mm hub-centric, use hub-centric rings if your chosen wheel has a larger bore. Aggressive offsets or extremely wide wheels can interfere with fenders and suspension, so stay within the compatible size range listed to avoid clearance issues.
Every wheel we offer for your van is verified to bolt on correctly and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. In stock right now you'll find Carolina Forged, Vision, WELD Off-Road, Fuel 1PC, and American Truxx—all proven fits for your G3500.
