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. http://img505.imageshack.us/img505/9...smiley1ti3.gif
oh well... at least i got more practice with a tire lathe & balancer :)


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

lol i did that one time...I found a set of suburban wheels for 250 and when I went to put them on thats when I realized it...what a waste lol BUT on the other hand they fit the back and burnouts on those tiny tires was a lot of fun lol
