new 8 lug wheels on older truck?
 

the search is beating me down. im sure there are 100 threads about it. all i know is the pattern is different. can you machine the wheels to fit an older model?

in need of tires and i can buy 2012 take offs with michelins cheaper than just tires from the dealer.

thanks.

I got those 11-12 20's on my 07 sierra hd
I just got some 8 lug to 8 lug adapters.

I am not sure about the 8 lugs but I redrilled my axles and rotors from the truck pattern of 5 on 5" to passenger pattern of 5 on 4.75".

do you have any pictures? seems like by the time you add an adapter the wheel would stick out too far?

No not really adapters are only 1.5" thick and even tho i have 305/55/20 bf goodrich a/t they dont stick out that much.
Oh btw i'll try to post a pic tomorrow.

I love those factory 20s , in for pics!

i really dig the gmc 18's. at least i think they are 18's.

Like these on my truck?

those look real nice, but im thinking of the multispoke gmc wheel. the wheels i was going to buy ended up getting sold before i could get them, but got a sweet deal on some tires so im still in good shape. my factory aluminum wheels look great, i was just searching for a deal.

those 5 spokes are super nice too. makes the new body style truck, IMO. the older HD wheels with the newer centercaps dont look good on those trucks
