Will OBS rims fit NBS?

BlueTahoe · September 30, 2005

I have found a cheap set of OBS 16" escalade wheels near me. I have heard that there may be fitment issues on my NBS Tahoe LT. Does anyone know if they will work or not. Anyone put OBS rims on NBS truck/SUV?

Yup. As long as they're 6 lug, they should bolt right up.

You have 16s on there now right?

Yep I'm running 16's now. A few on a Z71 site believed they may have brake clearance issues so I wanted to double check. I thought 16's were fine until 05 but just wanted to check. I'm assuming backspacing and rim width would be similar to what I have now since the stock tire size was similar on the escalades.

I tried to mount a set of 99 OBS tahoe wheels onto my 2000 truck and they did not fit. They hit the brake calipers and would not turn. You might want to do some more checking to make sure.

Yeah, the 16" OBS truck/ Tahoe alloys won't fit. They rub the calipers on the front.

The Escalade wheels could be different, but I would sure check before buying anything.

You can put NBS on OBS but not OBS on NBS. Confused yet?
