2005 Chevy 2500 wheels
 

What size of spacers do i need to run on the front if i use 2005 2500 wheels on a 1987 chevy?

Is your truck 8 lug?

Re: 2005 Chevy 2500 wheels
 

If your talking about the factory PY0 aluminum wheels. I've put them on my 79 C25 without spacers and 265/75R16 tires, and they don't rub anywhere and look good too.

I have the same wheels as 79C25, but I have 285/75R16 on mine with no spacers, and they still don't rub.

Yes it is 8 lug and mine is 4x4 and i heard that the tire hits the tie rod end. but maybe im wrong.

TexasJeff did you have to change the studs and lug nuts to run those hub caps?

Re: 2005 Chevy 2500 wheels
 

No stud change, but I did buy the lug nuts to run them. I found them on ebay. Here is a set Linky

So I take it the threads are the same?

Re: 2005 Chevy 2500 wheels
 

No at least not on mine, thread pitch is different. They will go on but you will end up cross threading them and possibly stripping bother the studs and the nuts and. (Speaking from experience, I tried it just to see even though I already had to replace a couple studs before hand, didn't want to do all 32)

TexasJeff how did you run those without stripping the threads?

Re: 2005 Chevy 2500 wheels
 

You need a set of these lug nuts. http://www.ebay.com/itm/32-LUG-NUTS-...86041f&vxp=mtr

Thanks a lot buddy1. But I still have the wheel spacer issue. Has anyone heard anything?

Re: 2005 Chevy 2500 wheels
 

I didn't use any spacers on mine. Fit perfectly with no problems. Buddy

I don't think this guy used any spacers on his K20.

I put them on today and it cleared the tie rod fine but i dont think i can run anything bigger than 265/75R16 on them. At full lock to the right, the tire is about 1/2 inch away from steering knuckle.
