Do I need hub centric wheels?

[TruckGuy007]

Accidentally posted this in the S10 forum, so I thought I'd try it again where it should be.

 

Finally ordering some new wheels tomorrow. They have a hub centric version and the other kind. Do I need to order hub centric wheels for my truck?

 

It is a 1996 GMC Sierra 1500 Z71 that came with the 16 X 7 inch, 6 bolt X 5.5 wheels.

 

Just want to make sure I order the proper ones as I can't return these if I get the wrong ones.

 

Thanks!

Yours are LUG Centric. However, the '88-'98 can use both hub and lug centric. The '99 and up must be hub centric.

So I am OK to buy hub centric wheels? I won't have to get any spacers or anything like that?

 

Here are the wheels I was going to order:

Part # 6079-6838 (second one on their list)

 

Thanks for the help!

Your fine. No spacers are needed, they bolt right up.

Sweet. Thanks!

You are always better off with hub centric wheels. For lug centric ones you need a special wheel balancing adaptor, which most places do not have.
