Chevrolet K3500 Spare Tire Fitment Guide
The Chevrolet K3500 used a 8x6.5" (8x165.1 mm) bolt pattern for all models from 1988 to 2000 along with tire diameters ranging from 29.3" to 30.5" tall. Using a temporary compact spare tire with a diameter close to the standard tire has many benefits, especially for modern vehicles with larger brake calipers and anti-lock brakes or traction control systems.
The tire diameter and the wheel diameter clearance have been taken into account for the specific Chevrolet K3500 years and options. In this case, it's recommended to use a Full-Size tire similar to the tires currently on your vehicle as your spare. We've provided a breakdown by vehicle generation and model specifics to help you find the correct Chevrolet K3500 spare tire.
1988-2000 Chevrolet K3500 Spare Tires
This generation of the Chevrolet K3500 began in 1988 and was available through 2000. All the models for these years use the same spare tire and wheel solution.
There was a facelift redesign in 1995 that changed the appearance, but it does not affect the spare tire recommendation.
