Anyone running 2011 2500hd 20" wheels on a 2010 2500hd?

Jons40ct · December 11, 2011

Hey everybody...

New to GM here.. 1st gas truck in quite some time...

I was wondering if anyone has put the 2011 2500hd 20" wheels on a 2010 2500hd or older...

I am aware of the bolt patterns being different ... 8x6.5 (2010) vs 8x180 (2011)

I found some very nice wheels complete with sensors lugs caps.... and also found adaptor rings ( 1.5" thick) to exicute the swap..

Does anyone have any experiance or feed back to HELP? thanks

Below is what my truck will look like .. except my truck is an extended cab with a 2" lift

Sadly I couldn't tell you how they did it but it has been done before. Take a look see at the link. http://www.cars.com/...05&aff=national

WOW awesome... Thanks for the link!

My concern is that the wheels willl stick out too much past the fenders....

After doing some caculations on offsets and backspacing, my current wheels being 16" with a 29mm offset (4.79 ? backspace) and the 20" wheels having a 31mm offset (5.9 backspace) with a 1.5" wheel spacer/adaptor it should sit flush with the fenders...

In the above link it looks like they might have used the 2" wheels spacers/adaptor

I'll call them and ask...

Here is my truck with the ready lift installed.....

You may want to think about wheel well (fender) liners!

Just put them on order

I am not sure but I read somewhere that the 2011's had different bolt pattern than previous year models, but I may be incorrect. Just something to check on before you make the purchase.

Jons40ct · December 22, 2011

My concern isn't the bolt pattern as much as if someones using adapters and what spacing are they? 1.5" or 2"?

I do not want my wheels sticking out past the fenders .....

newdude · December 24, 2011

Being 2007-2012 all have the same body work, if you space it right, I dont think they would stick out. The wheels on your truck now are the same as 99-07 and on the 07-10 trucks, they look small and appear to sit in more with the 07+ body work.

On that link I had posted earlier, with the smooth fenders of the older trucks, they almost look as if they are sticking out on that truck.

True ... that link you posted for me helped a lot..

I went ahead and bought a set of wheels, complete with lugs etc... they will be here tomorrow.... I am going to buy One 1.5" wheel adapter and one 2" wheel adapter. First for sizing purposes, which ever looks best, I'll by the set.. I see that the front wheels sit wider than that of the rear so it is possible that 1.5 in the front and 2" in the rear might be the call.. We'll see...

I'm hoping for a flush fit ... I will post up pictures by Friday once i receive the adapters....

FYI the wheel liners I bought were the wrong ones ... "you'd think the dealership could match up my Vin number for a proper fit of parts?" NO way .. not them.. I provided them my Vin number so this shit doesn't happen .. so back they go for the correct part .. I found the correct part number for the dealership to use.. I should charge the dealership for doing their job and my travel... another day another argument i suppose

My dealer tried to tell me the same thing today. He said p/n 19166676 is for 1500 & 2500 srw, when in fact the p/n for the 2500 & 3500 srw is 22738993. Found them on eBay for less than $90 shipped. I even told the parts guy I have a set I used on an 08 1500 and they wouldn't fit.

Holy Shit! do you pull that trailer with a gas engine? If so.. i suppose I have no worries pulling my 22' enclosed trailer with my mustang inside it !.... I never had a Chevy and never had a gas engine truck.. this is my 1st...

I'm going to make these butt holes order both styles/part numbers and fit them before buying them...(leaving the dealership)

Yea, It pulls it pretty good. It only gets about 8 MPGs pulling the trailer though. About 12 unloaded. I don't live or plan to camp in the mountains, so I couldn't justify the added cost of a diesel. I figure it's 8000-9000 lbs with all my stuff in it. One of these days I'll actually go get it weighed.

You shouldn't have any problems pulling your set up.

The 6.0 is a pulling beast. When I had my Vmax, there wasn't a hill around I couldn't increase speed on. Very solid motor in my opinion. It never gives up

So i got my new 2011 20" wheels in two days ago.... I'll post pictures on saturday....

I got them for $1,250 shipped (ms to ct) They are Brand spakin new ! ( only thing i have to get are tpsm, i don't want to remove the ones from my stock wheels bc i trade trucks in like most people change underwear ) lol

I am working on custom made 8x6.5 to 8x180 wheel adapters, which are hubcentric.... (possibly making them hubcentric on the wheel and hub sides)

I will do a write up on this soon as i get everything sorted out
