    I'm looking for a set of wheels for my 80' 2wd pick up. If I find the correct lug pattern but the hub bore on the rims is larger can I still run the wheels without issue?

    I don't see why you couldn't. As long as the bolt pattern is the same and they slip on run'em.:waytogo:

    Not important as long as you run tapered or ball seat lug nuts since they center the wheel when tightened down. The only time the center bore matters is if its too small or you are using flat faced lug nuts that onl6 hold the wheel in place since they rely on the hub bore to do the centering.

    Cheers guys, I assumed that would be the case. Now I just have to find some rims.
