1987 GMC Safari Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1987 GMC Safari uses a 5x127 bolt pattern with a factory 15x6 wheel at 20 millimeters offset. You can upgrade to 15x6.5, 15x7, 15x8, 16x7.5, 16x8, 17x8, 20x10, 20x12, or 22x10 sizes—all offering flexibility for your build without sacrificing fitment.
The 5x127 bolt pattern is your only option; no other pattern will mount safely. Use hub-centric rings if your new wheel's center bore exceeds 77.8 millimeters to ensure a true fit on your hub. Aggressive offsets or unusually wide wheels can contact fenders or suspension, so verify your specific size and offset choice against your desired stance.
Every wheel we list bolts straight onto your Safari and ships free across the lower 48 states. Black Rhino, Dirty Life, Carolina Forged, Fuel 1PC, Icon Alloys, Vision, 9Six9 Wheels, and LOCK OFFROAD all have options in stock and ready to ship.
