look at your spare tire and see what size it is.

you cant run the 88-99 classic 6 lugs (well i dont think so bc its a different bore size)
99-11 GMC/Chevy will fit your truck 16" up unless your truck came with 17s stock
Titan wheels will fit it too

or are you talking about the tire size?

imo, i would pick up some oem 17" steel wheels.they should clear the brakes.
are they actually big brakes, or do they just have that painted baer cover over the caliper? i recall seeing those back in the day.

They are larger brakes, have a caliper bracket that moves them out about an inch from the stock location. I've heard 17's, I've also heard not. My spare is a 17". best I know is to go out and try it. I need to...if I get around to it today I will. Need a set myself.

if u actaully read the tag where the brake jack is in the cab, u take off the front caliper brake cover with the tool they give u. And more than likely ur spare is an 18in wheel so if ur trucks set up like my RST u got drums in the back and 14in rotors on the front...

So to answer ur question, take the front 2 covers off the caliper and then put 18in 6 lug all around it and u should be good

i have 4 wheel disc big brakes in the front and back 03-04 rst only and if you remove the red caliper cover a 16'' will fit my truck came with a 16'' spare and if you read the sticker on the caliper cover it says to remove before mounting spare i guess i didnt notice the sticker when i mounted mine and fucked up my caliper lol
