    OBS 16" wheels on NBS truck

    just figured i'd let others benefit from my experience.

    bottom line... they don't fit.

    i'm referring to these 16x7 6 lug wheels.


    yes, the studs line up and the hub centers are the same. what screws you up is the NBS brakes are bigger & the calipers will rub the inside of the wheel.


    i was initially hoping to swap wheels between my sierra (with 16x6.5) & my brother's 94 suburban so i could get a set of 285s next time i bought tires. the fun part was forgetting to do a test fit before dismounting two tires.
    oh well... at least i got more practice with a tire lathe & balancer


    here's a couple PSs of what they would look like...
