What's up guys, i am throwing around the idea of getting the new silverado rims for my 06 silverado. Can someone some how swap the rims from one to the other? I am not real sure how this is done, but i guess i will leave it up to the pro's to do. Here Is a pic of my truck http://i52.photobucket.com/albums/g31/snowman_audio/First%20track%20day/CIMG0487.jpg

and here are the rims that i am looking at http://i18.photobucket.com/albums/b135/ws6_guy2/GM%20Trucks%20online/alaskasig3.jpg

There is a size difference, the new rims are 20" and the old rims i believe are 17".

If you can't use this pic i can try and find another one.

thanks guys in advance for any help you can do.

ar_audio,

You need to post pictures where the wheels are at the same angle as your truck in your picture. In your truck pic, your car is almost straight on. In your donor pic, the truck is angled... see what I mean?

Once you do that, it's pretty straightforward.

Hope that helps,
Chris.

As you can see, your front wheel was at a different perspective than the front wheel on the donor image.

Anyway, enjoy. :thumbup:
