Re: Wheel Openings Are Different!
Corts - excellent question. I "think" they are the same (i.e. the forward edge) and what you/we are seeing is just because of the angle from which the 2nd photo is taken. Now that we all are seeing something we aparently never saw before (amazing!) maybe we're looking for too many more "hiding in plain sight" things. Or, I'm full of crap and the front edges ARE different!
What's bugging me, and the one question I haven't seen answered is "why" did GM make 2 different size wheel openings? I can't imagine why a longbed and panel would need a longer opening that a shortie and suburban... Maybe the extra 3" just just looks more proportional in the long bed?? Hmm.
As for me, shortys all the way - I think the shorter opening surrounds the tire better. I'm just glad they all look good.
