I have a 1997 Chevy C1500 Extended cab. It is 4X2 , with 5 lug pattern rims. It doesn't have four wheel drive. I need to know if a Jeep Grand Cherokee 5 Lug Rim will fit my C1500 Rotors?
 
According to a chart I have, they are both carrying a 5 x 127mm bolt pattern, so I would think it should fit.
 
No, unfortunately not. The Chrysler 5 lug is the same as the older Ford truck 5 lug. Ford and Chevy kinda made it point to make their stuff incompatible. I can see why you'd ask, though. You may have noticed that the Jeeps made under the AMC nameplate in the '80s had some GM components, like the washer/turn switch, and ignition and key cylinders, just to name a couple. But just for referance for you, the C is from the old Fisher body codes. All the 2 wheel drive full size trucks are 'C' bodies, and all the 4 wheel drive trucks are the 'K' bodies. On 1980 and up GM's, this is the fifth digit in the VIN. Now, you can use rims off of some mid 70's Lincolns. I have seen an '86 C1500 and the owner had rims from a '76 Continental on it. That truck has the same 5 lug bolt pattern as your truck. I don't think you can use rims off of the S/T body (2/4 wheel drive S10 trucks) but you may want to verify that. If you can, then you could use rims off of the F body (Camaro/Firebird) which I think would look cool. Also, you may remember the rims on the The General Lee from "The Dukes of Hazzard". Those are the American Racing Vector Series. Well, American Racing reintroduced that rim a few years ago, I think they call it the Vector Classic. It's available in Ford and Chevy 5 lug, but oddly enough not for Dodge. If I find out more before you close this question, I'll add it here.
 
take a tape measure and measure the distance between two lug bolts skipping one lug should be 4 and 3/4 inches or something like that chevy pu is generally 5 inches. as long a the center hole where the center of the hub goes thru the wheel they should fit but both must measure the same across the lugs.
