1980 GMC K3500 Base Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1980 GMC K3500 uses a 10x184.15 bolt pattern with a 133.4mm hub-centric center bore. The stock wheel measures 16.5x6 with a 140 offset. You can fit 16.5x6, 16.5x6.5, or 16.5x7 sizes, giving you modest width options while maintaining the truck's classic stance and proportions.
Only wheels with a 10x184.15 bolt pattern will fit this GMC. Since the center bore is 133.4mm, use hub-centric rings if your wheel's bore exceeds that diameter to ensure proper centering. Choosing wider or aggressive offsets risks contact with fenders and suspension components, so stick within the compatible sizes listed to avoid clearance issues.
Every wheel we stock for your K3500 is verified to bolt on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Browse our selection of fitment-confirmed wheels today and upgrade your truck's appearance with confidence.
