I know this may be a crazy question but I thought I would ask. My coach is not where I can get to her... So, I have a full set of 16.5" factory GMC hubcaps. Is there any chance they would fit the 16" wheels on my coach?
Thanks for the help...

A related question;
I see that most people are not using any hubcaps on steel wheels. Has anyone adapted the newer style GM dually front hubcaps to the 16" wheels or are there any out there that will work out of the box? For the last year I have scrounged Craigslist and finally come up with a full set of 16" steel wheels for our 23 but I would like to dress them up some.

I lost another 16" hubcap. took me a bit to get what I had on there.
just a few quick notes:
I can't see anyway to get the 16.5 to fit the 16 steel wheels.
I also find that it sucks big time to deal with checking air with hubcaps. That is why my last one disappeared. Was on there for a year, and I pulled it off to add air, because I could not get the gas station air hose to work.(my air filler at home sneaks in there fine) I thought it went back on well enough, but I guess not.

recognizing the desire to dress the bare 16" steel wheels, I spray painted them with rattle cans of paint. I also purchased a set of 4 16" beauty rings for the wheels, still need to buy 2 more.
Right now, I'm having a 16" wheel powder coated, should look better and last longer than spray paint. I also have stainless steel covers for the lug nuts. The covers are generally available at truck stops.
Still need to find a solution for the center dust covers.
Looks much better than the "original" rusted and stained mixed colors of the 16" wheels on the coach.

I just painted my dust covers black nod they look fine. I got that tip from Ken Frey or a very inexpensive solution.
