1986 GMC P3500 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1986 GMC P3500 rolls on an 8x165.1 bolt pattern with a 117.0mm hub bore. The factory setup runs 16x6.5 wheels at a 15mm offset. You can also fit 14x7, 16.5x6.5, and 16.5x6.75 sizes while maintaining proper fitment across both Base and Value Van trims.
Keep in mind that only the 8x165.1 bolt pattern will work on your truck—no exceptions. Use hub-centric rings if your chosen wheel's center bore exceeds 117.0mm, ensuring a flush fit against the hub. Avoid overly aggressive offsets or widths that push the wheel too far outward, as you risk contact with fenders or suspension components.
Every wheel we stock for your P3500 is verified to bolt on and ships free in the lower 48 states. Carolina Forged, Vision, WELD Off-Road, American Truxx, Black Rhino, Fuel 1PC, American Racing, and Tuff all offer fitments ready to ship to your door.
