New Wheels...will they fit?

[jpless]

I am looking at a set of 18" Ultra wheels. They were taken off of a Silverado 1500. I looked it up and they have the same 6x5.5 bolt pattern. However, I went to test fit another set of wheels with the same bolt pattern but off of an Escalade and they did not fit over the black hub on my t4r. When looking at wheels online, I don't see hub diameter measurements. How can I tell if a set of wheels will fit? Please let me know as I would have to drive an hour to test fit these other ones!

Thanks!
Jeremy

The centerbore is 108mm... 1/2 ton Chevys bore is 78.3. You could have machine shop bore it out, provided it is not cost-prohibitive.

Now I see measurements for the CB but I still don't notice it on wheel sites! There might be a chance that he got wheels with a bigger CB than he needed (said he bought the set from a shop going out of business) If not, they could still work with wheel spacers right?

something like this....

I just want to make sure that there is nothing else I'm missing. I may end up buying the set even if the CB is wrong and then buying the spacers to make them fit. What are your thoughts? Are the spacers going to make the wheels stick out an absurd amount? Let me know what you guys think.

Thanks!

I bought the wheels last week and am now looking into which size wheel spacers to buy in order to make them fit. I'm assuming I can just take of a wheel and measure how far the hub sticks out and buy spacers that would exceed that length to make the wheels fit. Any yay's or nay's? Please let me know. If anyone already knows what size I would need, that would be greatly appreciated! I have to wait to buy them until thursday when I get paid but I can't wait to get them on!

Thanks,
Jeremy

i believe the chevy wheels are hub centric hence the smaller center. im not sure the runners are hub centric.

because I care about you....you shouldnt buy those rims...because they are pretty hideous. I cant see one of the homies riding around with those rims. Spend the money on a decent pair.

Dont mean to be so pessimistic, but damn..that sh*t is ugly.



Good luck
