Homer,
GMC bolt pattern is 8 lug and 6.5 inch bolt circle with 9/16 inch studs. Best to get the hub centered wheel spacers or it will be difficult to get the wheels centered. All of the spacers will have conical bores and lug nuts that will center themselves automatically if tightened correctly, but if they don't have a flange to center the wheel it will require extra steps to get the wheel centered and the wheel lug nuts will have to be torqued VERY tight, about 250 ft.lbs or so. However, the nuts holding the aluminum wheel spacers should not be torqued over 150 ft. lbs. and then checked after 50-100 miles of travel,even if you get the hub centered wheel spacers. Check with Jim K at Applied GMC for the best solution.
