Love My Wheels

[synthesisdv]

love my 16x8 chambers but very close to getting 2009 burb with 6.0 and six speed

 

was told 16" wheels wont fit new chassis because of brake caliper clearance but the 2500's come standard with 16's (maybe they have smaller brakes?)

 

anyone know for sure about the 16" wheel issue on the 2007-2009 trucks?

 

note... the pic is before i raised the front 1.5", no rub at all now with 285/75/16.

Unless something changed in the recent past, they won't go on. The bolt pattern is different. Time to pony up for some new wheels.

 

EDIT: If you don't mind my asking, what's that on back of the 'burb?

They would fit if they were 8 lug wheels. The reason that 16's still fit on the 2500 models is that they still use the GMT-800 HD chassis. Time for new wheels.

Looks like a bike rack to me...

Just spray paint your new wheels black... nobody will ever know the difference.

yup. its a thule hitch mount bike rack. bike on or off in 8 seconds.

 

also thanks for the explanation about the 2500's, makes sense now.

I've always thought that was one of the coolest bikes I've ever seen. How's the acceleration with those beasts on there?
