Not unless you drill out the center hole bigger. starting in '88 Chevy 6 lug rims were hubcentric instead of lug-centric like Isuzu,Toyota,Nissan, and Mitsu 6 lugs

I think That's what Pee Roy has on his truck. Ask him what he did.

Bolt pattern will be the same, but backspacing is different. I put a set of 15x7 Rodeo rims on my '83 P'up (same as your '81 LUV). They don't tuck in front quite as well, but they're fine on the rear (I'd never noticed that the rears sit deeper in the fenders). Here's a photo of an '82 LUV 4wd with the same wheels I have...

As mentioned above, with 4wd, the center hole may need to be bored out on some rims.

rondog, PeeRoy's truck is a 2wd, therefor eliminating the too-small-hole problem as 2wd don't have the front hubs to contend with

Ahh. I over looked the 4X part. I'm from the big city. I've never owned a 4X. :lol:
