Newer trucks wheels are hub centrec all of the early wheels are lug centrec, or no as far as fitment.

I don't think that is true, is it?.....as far as I know the newer chevys still have conical lugnuts which means they are lug-centric....Fords on the other hand.....

Sorry Joe that is what I`m told, I should of said so, maybe we need someone to try a wheel..I`m still running six lug ( rallys ) so what do I know..LOL

I don't know if gm changed the hubs up when they changed body styles but we run 6 bolt ralleys off a '78 on our '97 yukon . Are we more confused now???

Rich 5150 69 · 12-05-2009, 01:18 AM

Yes

I tried putting 01-02 truck alum. wheels on my stock 65 drums....would not fit.....center hub was too big on the truck and wheel wouldnt fit on it without some serious modifications...........my.02 worth....!

The OP has 2000 van rotors on the front, so that should help on the front as far as fitment goes

apachedaddy · 12-05-2009, 03:36 AM

I had a set of 06 rims on mine and they fit and worked great until i lowered it. The fronts still fit great but i had an offset issue in the rear. The tires rubbed on the inside wood of the bed. A set of spacers would have fixed the problem but i didnt want to spend the 100 bucks for them. I just put my rallies back on and sold the other rims. IT was a 3/5 lowering kit that made them rub.

ok.. The wheels are free but I wasnt sure about the looks on my truck. I know that they will fit on front.. as I do have 2000 gm hubs on front as stated by captinfab. but the rear offset was a concern. thanks for that if any one has a pic of it on our truck that would help
