97 was the last year of the 8 on 6.5" bolt pattern, the 99 and up have a metric bolt pattern.

The 8 on 6.5" bolt pattern has been the standard bolt pattern back a long ways. for 3/4 ton and 1 ton pickups. At least back to the 1960's when 8 lugs were getting more common.

I recently got a set of excursion wheels for free and had them machined and steel inserts pressed in to convert them to 8 on 6.5 pattern. 99-up wheels are everywhere and the cost to modify them was about $200.
Mike
could you possibly take some pictures of those steel inserts?
Thanks
Tim

Yes Need pics [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] And who does this? [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/shrug.gif[/img]
those wheels look great on your truck...Where did you have it done?? There are a couple of posts a week it seems like asking if "SD Wheels Fit on an OBS?" So I think this is something a lot of people will be interested in.

Thats a great alternative and opens up lots of options.Any concerns with weakening the rim and/or balancing issues? Good looking vehicle.
