simple question... I have a 2006 GMC Sierra 1500 4x4 SLT. What other rims from GMC models and years of trucks will fit mine?

Like I've said before, a chevrolet 6-lug is a chevrolet 6-lug, period. So any with 6 lugs on a chevy or GMC will work fine. 1990 or 2010, no difference.

16 inch 6 bolt will not fit around the disc brakes on my 08

that is mostly true... except if you have an odd 2WD 6-lug 16-inch from the 1990's .....

 

To compensate for the shorter (narrower) axles these trucks have a slightly narrower rim and with very little, if any offset. These rims may fit on other 6-lug trucks, but a 4wd 6-lug will not work on my 2wd 6-lug as the inside edge of the rim rides too close to the frame, barely ok on the back, but will not permit steering on the front. As far as I know these odd 6-lug rims are only plain painted steel... at least I have not been able to find any other OE rims with the same fit. Mine is a 2500 (light duty), but these odd rims would also be on a F44 option 1500 2wd (these have 6-lug 16-inch wheels).

 

Also... if the '06 the first poster asked about has 17 inch or larger rims, then it is not likely that 16 inch rims would fit over the brakes....

Both of you have good points. I believe you have to have at least a 16 or 17 inch on the 2006 and a 17 or greater on the 07 plus. And I'm sure he's not going to put rims from the 90's on his 06 anyway, but yeah, back then they basicly screwed up the 6-lug on a weird truck. But, most 2wd back then were 5 lug.

Yeah, I watch all the Davidsfarm videos, so I THINK I know what it's like. Or, at least in Ontario.
