Id still swap for the 17's!! They are much nicer! Ask Shawn(element80)! lol I swapped him those 17" avalanche wheels and tires for his 16's and toyos! On a RC, the 16's and toyos looked better so i straight swapped him! The 17's would have looked much better if i wanted to buy new tires but i didnt feel like spending the cash at the time so it was easier to trade. If your going to swap tires anyways, 17's ALL THE WAY!!!

Ha Ha, You sold that truck anyways. Now trade me that front clip off your '06!

Your 16" rims will not fit on a '05 1500. The 05's have 17" to clear the larger brake calipers on the front. If the donor truck isn't an 05-06, I'd trade.
