1989 GMC V3500 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1989 GMC V3500 uses an 8x165.1 bolt pattern with a 117.0mm hub bore. The truck rolled off the line on 16x6 wheels at a 13-offset. You can upgrade to wider 16-inch options up through 16x8.5, or jump to 17-inch wheels in 8 to 9-inch widths, or go modern with 20x8.5—all without staggering front to rear.
Keep in mind that only 8x165.1 bolts fit this GMC; no other pattern will work. Since wheels with a bore larger than 117.0mm require hub-centric rings for proper seating, verify your choice's specifications before ordering. Pushing too wide or too aggressive on offset risks contact with fenders or suspension components, so stick with the sizes we've verified for your truck.
Every wheel listed here is confirmed to bolt on safely to your V3500. Orders ship free throughout the lower 48 states. We stock Carolina Forged, Vision, WELD Off-Road, American Truxx, Black Rhino, Fuel 1PC, American Racing, and Tuff among others—all ready to ship.
