What is the standard wheel size (rim) for a 1998 GMC Sierra 4x4, will a 1999 or above OEM fit on it?
Spacing, lug, etc?
Thanks

1999-2006 1500

In 1999 GM redesigned their 1/2 trucks. Now both 2WD and 4WD trucks use the same 6/5.5 bolt pattern. All '99 to '04 trucks must use 16" or larger wheels. GM introduced rack and pinion steering on the 2WD trucks which require a hub centric wheel. Hub centric means that the center of the wheel must be the same size as the hub on the truck.

In other words the wheel on the 2WD models centers on the hub instead of the lugs as past trucks had. This means that only 6 lug wheels made specifically for the GM hub will work properly on the 1999-Up 2WD 1500. Although large bore 6 lug wheels will fit on the truck, a bad vibration is experienced at higher speeds. Most wheel manufacturers have built wheels with the proper 78.3 mm hub bore. 4WD models can use both large bore (108 mm) or hub centric (78.3 mm) wheels. Tahoe and Suburban have the same characteristics as the 1500 beginning with 2000 year models. Beginning in 2005 17" wheels are required to compensate for bigger brakes.

1988-1998 1500 4x4

These trucks have the same fitment characteristics and bolt pattern as '99-newer trucks. ;)
 
98 GMC Sierra 1500

so the 6 bolt wheels w/tires coming off 1999 new style 1500 will still fit my 1998 GMC 1500 4x4 truck?
