6bolt rims interchangeable?

The bolt pattern *might* be the same, some "6 bolt GM" rims are actually the 6x5" pattern. If its definitely a truck rim, then yes, it'll be the 6x5.5" bolt pattern. As for size, you'll need a minimum of 17" rim to fit over your calipers, but as long as you have at least 17", they will fit over the calipers.

 

The last consideration is the center hub size, from my research, at some point, I think it was 2007, but I can't remember for sure, GM went to a "hub centric" centering for their wheels. *My* 2012 Sierra is a 2WD, and needs a 78.3mm center hub wheel to be properly centered. From my research, 4WD models use a bigger center hub, and while they fit in all other aspects, they won't be properly centered unless used with center hub spacers. GM wheels used to be "lug centered" and it didn't matter what the hub bore size was, as long as it was big enough to fit over, but the newer "hub centered" wheels need to have the correct size bore to be properly centered on the hub...

 

So, your question gets a bit more complicated, but in a general sense, yes, they should fit...
