16" Hummer Wheels

LewiSILVERADO · August 30, 2007

Uh, that should be 4WD, not rWD. All thumbs...

I did a search and didn't find anything on this. I would like to replace the 265/70-17 tires and 17" stock wheels on my 2006 Z71 Silverado with the 16" Hummer wheels and 265/75-16 tires (same outside diameter, but about $50 each cheaper). Looking at the front brake calipers, with the stock 17's it looks very close between the caliper and the wheel (although the wheel is pretty beefy in that area). Has anyone had any experience putting 16" GM wheels on the '06? Do they clear the brakes?

Thanks!

My 03 Silverado has 16" wheels on it stock. But its the backspacing you have to look at. It may fit over the caliper, and have the right bolt pattern, but still not fit.

I've actually seen a set of H2 wheels on an 01 up 4x4 Suburban but I don't know what they did to get them to fit. A print shop guy down the street has them on his. Since the brakes and mechanicals are basically the same as your truck, I would certainly try it. H2 is basically a Suburban anyway so I bet your chances are good.

I'm pretty sure that the H2 wheels are 8 lug, cause a lot of guys over at the diesel place use them on the HDs.

Thanks everyone for the info. The H2 is 8 bolt. The H3 is 6 bolt. I picked up a set of new H3 take-offs on Ebay and am looking forward to seeing how they fit.

Hey.... that's right. The suburban must be a 3/4 ton 4x4 if it has Hummer wheels on it.

Post pics when you get them put on.

OK, here's the truth: Hummer 16" wheels WILL NOT FIT on an '06 Silverado Z71 with 17" wheels stock. There's no way the 16" wheels will clear the brake calipers, even with a spacer to make sure the widest part of the wheel is over the caliper. I just tried today. So the Hummer wheels will get sold, and I'll have to try something else (17" or bigger).

Well that sucks.

Well that sucks.

it sucks for me too since I just aquired a set of Hummer wheels and a set of 16" chrome silverado wheels.

I believe most 1500s after 03/early 04 require 17" wheels after GM went to rear drum brakes on the 1/2 tons and made the front discs bigger.

Send them to me I'll see if they'll fit a 99.

$180 plus shipping. Hard to beat at that price - I just want to get back what I have in them. They're new. See my listing on Craigslist for a picture: http://denver.craigslist.org/car/417572421.html
