Just out of curiosity, and since my 8-lug '97 GMC suburban is sitting right next to my GMC motorhome, and since I'm short a rim for a spare tire, I tried a tire off the suburban on the motorhome, and it fits! You guys probably knew that but it made me happy.
So my missing spare tire problem might be solved. It will stick out about 4 inches(?) compared to the original, but, for a spare it will get me down the road if I need it.
It's 245-75R16, pretty close to the same overall diameter, and it's E rated. Doesn't come anywhere near the calipers. The center hole looks to be the same as the hub.
I'll have to find some lug nuts b/c they are acorn style instead of the flat style, although I would probably just use the flat ones if I had to.
I'm just thinking that if someone was in a real bind and needed a wheel in a hurry, these GM 8 lug pickup / suburban truck tires are everywhere.
