Everything looks just like the factory dimensions, EXCEPT the bolt pattern. They have those wheels your looking at 6x 5.5, and I believe the GM stock bolt pattern on your truck is 6x 6.5 so I'm not sure if they would fit without adapters which you really don't want to use on a fullsize truck.

yes they will fit. the bolt pattern of a 6 bolt chevy truck is 6bolts x 5.5" across between bolts (6x139.7 in metric). Although some people recommend a hub-centric wheel for the full size gm trucks and that is not, this should not matter until a larger wheel anyway.

so off set and backspacing is good?

- well your last truck came with the custom wheels, right? and if im not mistaken, your current one is on stock wheels? for me i didnt know anything about wheels until i started to seriously look into buying them, so youre way ahead of where i was. and for lights and wiring, i think theres nobody better to talk to than you.

either way, im no good with the backspacing and offset and what-not, so i am of no help whatsoever there.

You know it's funny that you said that about my wheels on my last truck, because that is the only set of custom wheels I have ever had on any vehicle. My current Silverado is stock still, but the wheels I am going to buy for it are the nice 2500HD aluminum wheels because I loved them on my first truck. So again those are factory wheels, I guess I am just scared to buy aftermarket wheels because of the bad quality that seems to be built into them. Not only that but I had 2 of those Weld Racing wheels bend on my last truck, and at a staggering $1,400 to replace two of them I gave up on aftermarket wheels!

Thank you for the nice compliment about my lighting skills, that made my day!

I have a new electrical project going in my mind right now actually, I bought a brand new fuse box from the Chevy dealer minus the guts which I am going to make an auxillary fuse box to put all of my lighting stuff in to make it look more professional. I am going to teach myself how to wire relay's and fuses, and all of the other crap to try and better myself. Just wait until I post that write-up, It will be about 30 pages long on how many ways you can screw up a fuse box!

im looking forward to that write-up! that will help me find that many ways to avaoid screwing up a fusebox in my future wiring endeavors.

thats nasty that is cost you $1400 to replace two rims - those ones can't have been any bigger than 18's were they? I picked up a full set of 20's on practically new tires for mine for $1500 canadian. for that price for two, i would be looking for a better set from a company whose wheels were less likely to bend.
