Colorado/Canyon wheels are pretty narrow and they still have the 6x5.5" bolt pattern, but I think the narrowest they come are 6" or 7". Even so they don't make a 10" version of the skinny wheel so you'd have mismatched wheels. Of course you could have the rears widened, but then that gets expenssive. I wonder if any of the Colorados have skinny aluminum spares like GTO's? TB's have our bolt pattern too. It might be worth it to look into what the base models come with.
I think Blacksheep is running wheel adapters so he can use a lightweight 15" drag wheel up front. I'm not sure how strong they are, but it's not like any of our trucks are pulling monster wheel stands.
Edit: TB's don't have our bolt pattern.

That's no joke.

Are you F*CKIN kidding me???? Guess I don't know the right people. Man, that kinda pisses me off.
I don't think I would ever use adapters. I would rather pay the extra for a good set of wheels, and not have to worry about the studs breaking out of the adapter. I've heard stories of peoples wheels falling off driving down the highway. I'm out on that like a fat kid in dodge ball.

Holy crap that's cheap. What size/style did you get? How long ago was that?
Also, check out Moser Engineering's website. I'm not sure if I can post a link, but under their shop services section it says that it costs $85/pair to plug and redrill front rotors for 6 to 5 lug. I'm sure it's probably another $85 for the hubs, another for the rear rotors and another for the axles. That's $340 total, so does that offset the price of bogarts?
