Default Stock 16s or 17s??

hey guys, i bought my truck without the stock rims on it, and to my understanding i cant fit 16 inch stocks cause i have rotors all around, its an 03 with front and rear rotors, i was looking to buy some stocks in the near future for spares, but wouldnt mind puttin some slicks on instead, anybody know?

I think its the rear drums that require the 17" rim. 16's should be fine for you

do you have stock rotors? Maybe i am missing something put mine is a 04 with disc all the way around, and i can fit 16's.... If you have drums you can fit 15's on the back...

05 and newer they have to be 17s due to the larger rotor. You should be fine with 16s

x2 with Corey with drums you can fit 15s

If your talking about the 03 silverado in your sig, then yes, that is as long as you have the brakes that came with it, if they were changed to something else then i dunno, depends on what they changed them too...

Also 03's came from the factory with 16's... I believe 05 started the 17s....

03s and 04s came with 16s so they should fit fine.

yes the one in my sig, and they are still same brake from factory, i had no idea which ones they came with cause i bought the truck with 20s, no stocks, and no spare tire!


Quick Reply: Stock 16s or 17s??
