Re: Living with the duramax vs the 6.0L?

And this is exactly why I did the 6 lug conversion. 8 lug wheel options are out there, but like you said, the styles are all the same. Plus, I am a lowered truck, so most of the negative offset 8 lug wheels won’t work.

Also, 2003-2010, GM used an 8x165 bolt pattern. 2011, they switched to 8x180.

People are afraid of wheel adapters, but billet wheel adapters are just fine. I have a 1998 K1500 on 20” 8x180 wheel adapters and 35” tires, 9” lift. No issues going on 10 years now with driving it off-roading and the dunes.

Personally, I like the 16” factory polished wheel that came on the 99-06 2500s. I also like the factory 20” star wheel that came with the 8x180 pattern. Some of the 2022-2024 wheels are nice too.

I have old Mickey Thompson Challenger forged wheels on mine. Great looking wheel IMO.
