04 4dr 4wd build/rebuild
not any more than the stock wheels looked, these wheels actually have the same backspacing as stock 4x4 wheels, they're just an inch wider (8" wide...) but the different track width between the front and rear seems to be more obvious now. I have some 1.25" spacers on the way to solve that problem though 
half temped to sand down and paint the calipers now since they're actually visible with these wheels, they look horrible lol. not sure if I'd try and match the body color or just paint them black. or silver... I dunno lol. be cool to paint them up and find a small bowtie decal that could put up with the heat and stick them to the outside face of it

my fronts are pretty flush with the fender, the rears are just sucked in... looks sort of stupid from the rear lol
I think the thing I like the most about it is how factory they look. Being that they're OEM off another GM, they're not too "blingy" even though they're chrome. Almost like an optional wheel that Chevy never offered on the 4x4's but should have. The only thing I want to change is the center cap, to one with just a bowtie in it or something instead of the "ABS" lettering... not sure if there's a whole center cap that I could pop in there or not, but I'm sure I could fine a decal that I could lay over it if not

turns out the rear studs are considerably shorter than the fronts
they don't stick out from the 1.25" spacer at all. even if they did, there's an opening between the lug holes on the back of the wheel, so it would have been fine
got them on this afternoon. looks SOOO much better... so stupid that the width is staggered in my option... but whatever...
torqued to 100ft/lbs and red locktite on the lug nuts holding the spacers to the truck, I'll pull the wheels off after a hundred miles or so and retorque
without spacer


with spacers!

thanks
yeah these wheels were sort of a random idea lol and ended up looking not too bad. I'm not a huge chrome fan but they're not too "blingy", fits in nicely with the chrome bar on the grill and it's not too much since they're only 16"
