Post Your OEM Wheel Swaps!!!

Chris95GT · 03-24-2016, 09:26 AM

Here's two of mine.

The 94 is 2wd and 6 lug swapped, lowered 2/4, the 99 Crew is just a simple wheel swap.

Assuming you mean the newer JK wheels, keep in mind you will need spacers as they have significantly more backspacing than your truck.

Those are 2007-2010 GMC Sierra 2500HD/3500HD wheels. The Chevrolet ones were a little different (Because I have the Chevy ones on my GMC)

What route did you go for the 6 lug conversion?

On that truck, I went with a 6 lug 14 bolt rear axle in the back, and light duty 2500 6 lug rotors in the front. Simple.

On the crew cab, I'm going with the same 14 bolt rear end, and 99+ spindles and hubs in the front. 99+ disk brakes all the way around.

UKNOWME · 04-09-2016, 12:56 AM

So you swapped a complete rear end? From what, a 4wd? I was considering new axle shafts from moser.

Chris95GT · 04-09-2016, 04:11 AM

Correct. I went to a bigger and stronger 4x4 rear end assembly. It was cheaper than new shafts/drums.

From what application? I thought the 4wd axle was a different width?

68 50th · 12-24-2016, 05:48 AM

1988 2500 4x4 with 20" Texas edition wheels. Truck is rusty but is under restoration right now.

**special-K** · 12-24-2016, 08:34 AM

Looks pretty good. Did the 6-lug pattern go to metric or was that only 8-lugs? Also, what year did tings go from SAE to metric pattern?

68 50th · 12-25-2016, 05:00 AM

As far as I know 1500 trucks still has 6x5.5 (6x139.7mm)
2500 still has 8x6.5 (8x165.1mm)
2500HD with 8 lug pattern went to metric 8x180mm in 2011.

The Colorado series went to metric 6x120mm in 2015. (exept diesel Colorados which still has 6x5.5)

Thanks for that knowledge, good to know. And thanks for the compliment. I went back rather than ahead in time

68 50th · 12-28-2016, 03:24 PM

speical-K. I know you like steelies and those look really good.

**special-K** · 12-29-2016, 11:26 AM

Yes I do and thanks. It was easy. I wanted a retro-stock look for the work truck. I went with a traditional truck color when I ordered it and played on that. Also got the towing mirrors much like what came on earlier trucks. The wheels are Ford Accurides (7") with 255/85-16 tires

b454rat · 12-29-2016, 12:00 PM

Chrome H2 wheels I got off c-list for $150. Chrome was pealing on insides of spokes but fine on outside. Basically chrome you see now was fine, where it's black is where it was peeling. Center cap is 88-up style had to trim prolly an inch to fit. I like these over the later caps, tho they would fit with no trimming.

**special-K** · 12-29-2016, 06:02 PM

Nice. I like the smooth look 88-98s caps better, too. So, you had to take about an inch off the backside?
