G'day,
Dave Pottebaum has noted he has purchased these wheels for his GMC with the 1 ton front end and they fit OK.

He checked and verified that they DO NOT fit the OEM front end, the wheels hit the calipers.
I noted that you can obtain spacers from Jim Hupy:

They WILL fit the OEM rear drums.
These wheels are from Allied Wheel Components:
http://www.alliedwheel.com/wheel.php?name=Light+Truck+Duals+and+Singles
Their Website has a dealer locator.
Southwest Wheel lists a 16" wheel also:
http://www.southwestwheel.com/store/p-1835-29587.aspx
I asked if anyone has purchased these wheels and verified if they fit the OEM front end. As of today no one has responded.
PLEASE DO NOT BRING UP USED WHEELS!!!
PLEASE DO NOT ADVISE THAT WE CAN BUY ALUMINUM WHEELS FROM APPLIED GMC; WE KNOW THAT!
MY INTENT IS TO TRY AND FIND A SOURCE FOR NEW STEEL WHEELS THAT OWNERS IN AUSTRALIA CAN ORDER THEM FROM!!!
TELLING US THAT YOU WENT TO A PICK A PART AND GOT WHEELS OFF A CHEVY TRUCK IS USELESS TO US HERE IN AUSTRALIA!!!
THANK YOU
IT IS ABSOULTELY POSITIVELY IMPOSSIBLE TO BUY 16 1/2 TIRES IN AUSTRALIA. IF YOU NEED THEM YOU HAVE TO IMPORT THEM YOURSELF.
