1987 GMC V2500 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1987 GMC V2500 uses an 8x165.1 bolt pattern with a 117.0mm hub-centric center bore. The factory wheel measures 16x6.5 with a 31mm offset. You can upgrade to larger diameters and widths, including 16.5-inch and 17-inch options that range from 6 inches to 9 inches wide, all fitting your truck's square setup without staggered requirements.
Watch for the 8x165.1 bolt pattern—no other pattern will secure properly to your V2500. If you choose a wheel with a center bore larger than 117.0mm, install hub-centric rings to ensure safe, vibration-free mounting. Aggressive offsets or very wide widths can risk rubbing your fender and suspension, so verify your specific setup before ordering.
Every compatible wheel we stock bolts directly onto your V2500 and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Browse our in-stock selection from Carolina Forged, Vision, WELD Off-Road, American Truxx, Black Rhino, Fuel 1PC, American Racing, and Tuff to find the right look for your truck.
