1985 GMC Safari Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1985 GMC Safari accepts a 5x127 bolt pattern and originally rolls on a 15x6 wheel with a 20-millimeter offset. You can fit anything from 15-inch through 22-inch diameters—15x6, 15x6.5, 15x7, 15x8, 16x7.5, 16x8, 17x8, 20x10, 20x12, or 22x10 are all compatible. Since your Safari runs square, you'll choose the same size front and rear.
Keep in mind that only 5x127 bolts onto your hubs; other patterns won't work. Your center bore measures 77.8 millimeters, so use hub-centric rings if your wheel's bore is larger. Aggressive offsets or overly wide wheels can contact the fenders and suspension, so verify fitment details before ordering if you're pushing toward the larger or wider options available.
Every wheel listed here bolts straight on and ships free to the lower 48 states. Black Rhino, Dirty Life, Carolina Forged, Fuel 1PC, Icon Alloys, Vision, 9Six9 Wheels, and LOCK OFFROAD all carry fitments in stock for your Safari.
