I think they're 8x6.5 bolt pattern. GM and pre 1999 Ford will work, in '99 Ford went to 8x170 (metric).

Factory GMs have a smaller center if I remember right.

You can cut them though.

The hubs are slightly smaller on the GM rims, but AL is easy to cut like Pat said. Our rims are lug centric so the hole not being perfect is not an issue.
