Default 16s up front?
Do 16" wheels bolt right up to our trucks? My brother in law's 2500hd came with factory 16s and its also a nbs, but been told they dont fit....Thinking of buying some 16x8s 15x10s for drag setup.

2500 series, 16's will work.

1500 series, 16's will not work.

they will work if you grind the caliper down a little, I test fitted some 16s on my truck and they barely rub the calipers.

I think he is saying that the 2500 nbs comes with 16s and that in his 1500 nbs 16s dont fit. and yeah some caliper grinding will do the job, jus take it with someone that knows whats doing.

17" is the smallest you can go without grinding. they have someone on here with a 5 lug conversion an a set of bogart rims which looks sick imo
