8×6.5 and 8×165.1 are the same eight-lug pattern: eight lugs on a 165.1 mm (6.5 inch) circle. That is not the same as 8×170, and it is not the same as 8×180. The circles are close enough that a wheel can look right and still refuse to go on the hub.

This is the older heavy-duty pattern, and it is still very much in use. Ram 2500 and Ram 3500 single-rear-wheel trucks use 8×6.5, including current model years. Ford F-250 and F-350 used it through the pre-Super Duty years (1997 and earlier). From the 1999 model year, Super Duty trucks moved to 8×170, which we stock separately on our F-250 wheels page and in the 8×170 catalog. Chevrolet and GMC 2500HD and 3500HD used 8×6.5 through 2010. Starting in 2011, GM single-rear-wheel HD trucks went to 8×180, and 2011-and-newer 3500HD duallies use 8×210. A 2019-and-newer Ram 3500 dually is typically 8×200, not 8×6.5. If you are shopping 8-lug Chevy wheels, the year and whether the truck is a dually matter as much as the lug count.

Load rating is the other check we will not skip. These wheels go on work trucks, so the stamp on the wheel has to support the axle. Under our 100% Fitment Guarantee we confirm bolt pattern, offset, center bore, width, and brake clearance. Wheels ship out in 2 to 4 business days via FedEx Ground to the lower 48, with a 60-day return window on eligible unused orders.
