Those appear to be a clone of the Silverado wheel of that era and they are one of the very few aluminum wheels you can get in the correct offset. There are members on here that are using them both the clones and the OEM GM ones that were gotten used.


You are limited to no larger than the stock 245-75-16 tires on them, which is a downside for some of us who went larger tires.


There is a very long thread on wheel options for the Chevies and some other additions in other places.

Do larger tires (265/75/16) need to have suspension up grades. Thanks for getting back Booster

First, make sure the new tires will clear the front wheelwells. My standard 16" rims & tires barely clear the front and a 3" lift made no improvement. In fact, after the lift, my front tires started ocassionally rubbing on the Airstream mud flaps which means they got even closer. I had to trim the flaps down narrower at the inside rear.

Booster and others have done a modest tire increase and had no such problem that I'm aware of, so my situation may be unique.

There have been some that have done the 265-75-16 with +28 offset on standard height Roadtreks, and more have done them in conjunction with a 2" lift in front and rear.


I think Rowiebowie has -6 offset wheels and they can make the wheel move for and aft more when turned. His Avenue has different fiberglass around the wheels than our Roadtrek, so that could be some also.


You do need 7" wide wheels to go up to the 265s and those are very few and far between, with few options.

First change your username here, now you will get spamm on that mail-adress.

Trew it trough my rimmwidth calculator and 265/ 70 is still allowed by european ETRTO, and american TRA most likely uses same system for rimms. Measure rimm is 235

And check if the loadindex/ maxload of rimm is enaugh. Can be ,these rimms are for a lighter car.

Yes, also rimms have a maxload yust as tires.

Saw you took my advice to change username.
If now moderator wants to remove it from the quote from post#2 from booster too, it is all solved.
