Newer OEM rims on our trucks - 6 bolt pattern
Are there any factory 6 bolt rims from newer trucks/SUV's that will bolt up to the stock 6 bolt pattern of our trucks?
I like the look of the SSR rims but was told they wouldn't fit. From what I have read, the 6 bolt pattern is the same but the bore is different. I would like to see what would bolt up without expensive machining. Greg

Re: Newer OEM rims on our trucks - 6 bolt pattern
Not sure about the SSR (new Trailblazer type) rims but you will need to order spacers to get newer full size rims to fit on a pre 87 six lug hub. I found a great source on Ebay but it will take me a while to find him on my old computer.
There is also a bit of a deal about going from hub centric to rim centric. Think I used a 1.5" thick spacers on all corners. Trying to get a picture to load. |

Re: Newer OEM rims on our trucks - 6 bolt pattern
I believe the Trailblazer bolt pattern is not 6x5.5''. But yes, the bore on the newer wheels is smaller. I dont remember exactly, but its in the neighborhood of a 1/4'' smaller.

Re: Newer OEM rims on our trucks - 6 bolt pattern
Here is my truck with the 2000 Tahoe wheels. I used a 1.5" space on each corner. Tires are BFG 235/70 r 16. The truck has a 3 inch drop spindles & 4 inch lowering springs.

Re: Newer OEM rims on our trucks - 6 bolt pattern
A 1 1/2" spacer really puts the rims on the outside of the corners.
What is the cost of spacers vs. machining the rims?

Re: Newer OEM rims on our trucks - 6 bolt pattern
This is what I was thinking of, but there are so many other OEM 6 bolt rims to choose from now.
Any other pictures of rims installed on our trucks? Greg

Re: Newer OEM rims on our trucks - 6 bolt pattern
Hmm, I wondering about this, too. I have a bunch of the 17" steel wheels and I was wondering if they would work on the older six lug pattern...

Re: Newer OEM rims on our trucks - 6 bolt pattern
I'd love to see what the Silverado SS wheels would look like on our trucks (with shorter tires than in pic).

Re: Newer OEM rims on our trucks - 6 bolt pattern
I did not check the cost of machining as I needed a spacer so I could get the center cap to seat.

Re: Newer OEM rims on our trucks - 6 bolt pattern
I have thought about putting the wheels off my 04 Yukon onto my 65 and getting new wheels for the Yukon. But not sure I want to mess with the whole hub problem and spacers.
