Thanks

No, 16" rims don't fit on a third gen truck. They will not clear the calipers on your disk brakes.

JRMora is correct, they are not gonna fit.

Somebody help me here, bbut I think they have the wrong bolt pattern (8 on ??? - its a metric number, that's all I can remember).



Or did they go back to a 10 bolt?



Shoot, now I can't remember!!!



I'm pretty sure they don't fit, though.

You are much better off with a Dodge rim anyway. The GM aluminum wheels are 16x6. 5" and do not support bigger tires very well. The Dodge aluminums are 17x8 and as mentioned, they are a bigger diameter to cover our larger brakes.

the GMrims on the newer trucks are actually a 16. 5

the fords are an 8 on 150mm I believe.

I was told, that the F550 aluminum wheels are like 19" or 22" or something and only needed the holes dusted out to fit and be hub-centric

Where did you hear that? 16. 5" diameter rims are dinosaurs, nobody is using them on a current production vehicle that I am aware of. Tire selection would be extremely limited and when GM does exceed the 16" size you can bet they will follow Dodge and Ford with 17's or 18's.

I agree GM's are 16"



Ford F550's are 19. 5"



Ford lug patterns are 8 x 170mm

(8 on ??? - its a metric number, that's all I can remember).

8*170 mm. or 6. 692913385826771653543" . :-laf

Ford F550 are actually 8 on 220mm, Ford F250/350 are 8 on 170mm

16. 5's, had to be the worlds biggest joke! I had a Chevy years ago that had 'em, and the stupid tires would come off the rims when you were 'wheeling!
