Nbs Rims On Obs?

90'rado · August 24, 2010

Hi everyone, new guy here, I have a question that pertains to swapping NBS rims onto an OBS.

Here's some quick background info: My truck is a 1990 RCSB Silverado. It was my first vehicle and I've made several improvements to it over the years. The truck sports a warmed over 350 that I built a few years back. It's nothing crazy, but just a good stoplight bruiser. It's bored .060", I ported and polished the heads, enlarged and relieved the oil return holes in the lifter valley of the block to go with the high volume oil pump that I also used, it has headers and dual 3" exhaust with balance pipe, I burn my own chips to tune the ECM, it has a mild cam that is still considerably bigger than the stock cam, I modified the throttle body with the ultimate TBI mods to increase breathing capabilities at higher RPMs, I've installed an E-fan, the truck has the "salad bowl mod", and there are countless other small things that I can't remember.

3 years ago, I rebuilt the 700R4 just for the hell of it, but still ended up swapping the A4 out for a M6 (T56). The T56 has a PRO 5.0 Short throw shifter with a billet aluminum pistol grip handle to stir the gears quickly. To go with the hopped up 350 and the T56, I recently completed a 14 bolt SF swap.

Now that I've swapped in a 9.5" 14 bolt that is 6 lug, I'm planning on swapping on some C2500 front rotors which are 6 lug and will bolt right up to my 2WD spindles giving me the same 6 lug bolt pattern all around.

So here is my question, I've got a lead on these wheels and tires from a NBS, I'm not sure yet if they're from a 4x4 or what, but I'm investigating. What I would like to know is can I use these wheels on my OBS truck? Remember, even though it is a half ton 2WD, my truck is going to be 6 lug all around since it has a 14 bolt 6 lug rear axle right now, and I'm planning on swapping the front 5 lug rotors out for the Light Duty C2500 front rotors.

I had those wheels with chevy centers on my '95 silverado Z71. So if the bolt patterns will match up I see no problem. My wheels were off of a 2000 2WD that I threw on.
