Just looking at the clearance from the brakes, I don't think that I should have a problem, but I wanted to check first. I know that all of the 2005 GMC's and Chevy's came with 17's from the factory, so I wanted to make sure that they didn't upsize the brakes such that 17's were required.

I'm thinking about going to a set of factory 16" aluminum wheels to replace the chrome steel 17's. Thanks.

 

no they will not clear the larger drum brakes in the rear. must have a 17 inch wheel

 

I was afraid of that, oh well.

 

I have a brand new set of 05 Z71 take offs less than 1000 miles on the wheels and tires. Looking for $700

hey nate do you have any pics of your current truck wheel and tire set up?

 

I had no trouble putting 15" wheels with a set of ET streets in the back when I went to the track in July. I thought it was the front wheels we where gonna have problems with due to larger front brakes?

 

The back isnt a problem, it is the front. I have about a 1/4" in between my wheel and caliper.

 

on my 06 there is NO extra room, the rear drums are HUGE
