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.

Re: 2005 Chevy 2500 wheels
TexasJeff did you have to change the studs and lug nuts to run those hub caps?

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)

Re: 2005 Chevy 2500 wheels
You need a set of these lug nuts. http://www.ebay.com/itm/32-LUG-NUTS-...86041f&vxp=mtr

Re: 2005 Chevy 2500 wheels
I didn't use any spacers on mine. Fit perfectly with no problems. Buddy

Re: 2005 Chevy 2500 wheels
I don't think this guy used any spacers on his K20.

Re: 2005 Chevy 2500 wheels
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.
