I have seen a few GMCers with dodge wheels on the front, which give more offset without using spacers. The wheels are close enough in style that some may look twice, if at all, to notice the difference. With that in mind, I saw these American Racing wheels on Amazon:

16x8, 8x6.5 lug, 4.5" backspace, 5.5" center bore, 3100lb load:

They look enough like Alcoas to somewhat match. Other than the caveats of using a wheel with the wrong offset, and not being hub centric, Does anyone here see a reason why they would not be worth a try? Other than having fronts that are not interchangeable with the rears? Seems the rim would allow a wider tire to help with traction. At $117 bucks each new, they are almost as cheap as spacers.

Just a thought.

76 Birchaven - "Wicked Mistress" - New engine, trans, alum radiator, brakes, Sully airbags, fuel lines, seats, adult beverage center... those Coachmen guys were really thinking about us second hand owners by including that beverage center... Columbia, SC.
