Any other pics of the HD wheels? Id like something NBS as well but to be honest havent paid much attention to what they have on them. I had the tahoe 20s on my K1500 but they wont fit on my HD :bang:

The 11-12 have a wider track, so when you install the wheels on older models with spacers, they end up right where they need to be

So the offset is different? Any info/pics on the spacers?

How about the bolt pattern?

TJ 12-05-2012 06:42 PM

gm changed the pattern from 8x165(8x6.5 the forever standard 8 lug pattern till now) to 8x170 to increase towing capacity..... which makes no sense.

a new 1/2 ton 6 lug truck is rated to tow more than my 3/4 ton with 8 lugs.
strange.

I think the new ones are 8x180, not 8x170.

TJ 12-05-2012 08:40 PM

they are 180. i was thinking ford. wanted to put some ford 20's on my truck but they dont fit either. i know a guy who drilled out ford wheels and put them on chevy. look pretty good. not sure how safe it was but he drove from florida to arizona on business and towed several times. i do not recommend this, just making comment.
