Can you import these wheels onto this Avalanche?

I am considering a couple options; one of which is painting the cladding on mine white, and adding these 20" Helo Maxx-8 wheels with Nitto Tires.

"Chrome don't get-ya home, right Bada Bing?"

Thanks!

NO comments from the peanut gallery please. The AV is paid for, so its staying a while. I just picked up another toy car this past week and I only use the AV for towing.

SG, thank you very much!

Bill, we shall be in touch.

I am not sure what I want to do, but I like the setup I imagined above. I may also go for getting the same wheels, but have the black part painted grey and not painting the truck, OR, having my cladding painted black for a two-tone effect, with the black wheels. I saw a 1500 Avalanche with the old-school grey torque-thurst ARE wheels the other day, and it looked pretty tight against the cladding. Unfortunately they don't make them with 8-lugs.

The orginal wheels on the top truck are for a 1500 Avalanche. That is not my truck. You can get LOTS of wheels for 1500s (same as 'burban, Escalade, Denali etc), but only a few for 2500s. I have always liked the look of black or colored wheels. My truck currently looks like the bottom of post 11, and I am considering some changes.

I wanted the picture modified so I can see what my truck will look like after paint mods and new wheels.

paint the cladding white and go with an anthracite gray colored wheel.. looks cool and never looks dirty, black makes wheels look small, you would need 24's for the black ones to look as big as chrome 20's...

there are lots of wheels avail for an 8 lug app. for some ideas goto www.ntwonline.com, www.aaatire.com any by www.brentzwheels.com can be cut for a single rear wheel aplication from a 17 to a 24, goes for duallys as well. the ones that come to mind are weld, halo, kmc, dub, intro wheels, centerline, giovanna, gfg wheels, If you need some more manufactures let me know and can send more over, also get a 4wd mag, the truckin and sport truck mags dont really show the 8 bolt wheels all that often.
