GMC K-3500 Tires — Fitment by Year

I've got a lot of '88 to 2000 K-3500s rolling through here, and the OE fitment is either LT245/75-16 or LT265/75-16 depending on your year and package. Both are load-rated for what that truck's designed to carry, and I keep those sizes on the rack most of the time. Your bolt pattern is 8x165.1, hub bore sits at 116.70mm, and you're looking at a 16-inch rim as the baseline — that's the spec I confirm on every one that comes in.

When you're upgrading or replacing, you've got options. I can match the OE size straight across, or if you want a little more sidewall for rough terrain or a smoother ride on the highway, I'll walk you through what works with your load rating and rim diameter. A lot of K-3500 owners come in wanting something tougher than stock, and I've got all-terrain and heavy-duty options that'll bolt right on. The truck's built for work, so I make sure whatever we mount respects that.

Here's what I do on every install: I run road-force balance on the tires, verify your hub bore and bolt pattern match, torque the lugs to spec, and scan your TPMS while I'm at it. We're bilingual here, walk-ins are welcome, and I've been in Marietta fifteen years doing this work in-house with my crew — no outsourcing, no guessing. You'll talk to the same person who mounted your tires if you've got a question later.

We mount these for folks across Marietta, East Cobb, and Kennesaw. If you need financing, I've got Synchrony for six months on $199 and up, or Acima lease-to-own starting at ten bucks. Walk in at 1585 Roswell Road, call (678) 400-6467, or book online below.

What we double-check on GMC K-3500

  • Load range matters more than tread pattern. We confirm the OE load index (often E or F on heavier trims) before recommending any oversize fitment.
  • Bigger meats often need a leveling kit or trim work to clear — we'll tell you straight if your size doesn't fit your suspension as-is.
  • TPMS reset done on every install. Bring the lug key if you have aftermarket locks.

Common questions about GMC K-3500 tires

What's the OE tire size on a GMC K-3500?
Depends on your year and package, but most run LT245/75-16 or LT265/75-16. I'll confirm the exact size for your model year when you call or stop by. Both are load-rated for the truck's GVWR, so you're good either way.
Do you install tires same-day?
Yeah, most of the time. Walk-ins are welcome, and if I've got your size in stock, I can mount and balance you in an hour or so. Call ahead if you want to be sure I'm not swamped — (678) 400-6467.
Can I finance tires for my K-3500?
Absolutely. I run Synchrony for six months promo on purchases $199 and up, and Acima lease-to-own if you want to start with ten bucks down. No credit hassle either way.
What's the bolt pattern and hub bore on a K-3500?
You're at 8x165.1 bolt pattern and a 116.70mm hub bore. I verify that on every install to make sure the wheel sits right and your lug nuts torque correctly.

Family-owned · Marietta · Since 2010

Built and run by Max Caba and a small team of techs.

We don't outsource installs and we don't sell tires we wouldn't put on our own trucks. Every wheel goes on with a torque wrench and a road-force balance, every TPMS sensor gets reset before you drive off, and every fitment question gets answered by someone who'll be here next week when you call back.

Fifteen years of doing it the same way — that's the whole pitch. We're a small shop on Roswell Road, not a chain, not a call center. Walk in and you'll meet the same techs who'll touch your truck.
