Anyone had this done? I was told i can have my 20x12 Cheyenne wheels drilled to fit my new 07 GMC. The wheels came off of my 04 Super Duty. They say the pattern is just a hair off between the two. Price is 140.00 per wheel. I dont want to buy a new set of those babies at what they cost! :eek:

Sounds like a good deal! I personally wouldnt do it but possibly ask a local machine shop if they can do it and sleeve the holes?

If your a hair off the tires will feel like blocks going down the highway :shootself

I'd get a new set, the center bore is bigger than the GMs so the studs will have to center the wheel.
so the tapered seat would have to be exact and cut deeper to clean it up.

do u have a 3500 or 2500?

BTW it's more than a 'hair' off more like 24 hairs or .097" per side.

wouldn't milling them out also have some affect on the load capabilities of the rim?
