swapping rims

Hi, I have a 99 Silverado 4x4 ext cab. I now have the factory steel 16x6.5 inch rims with 245/75/16 tires on my truck. I have a set of aluminum 16x7 inch rims from a 2002 suburban that I want to install. Will the factory lug nuts work on the aluminum rims or do they require a different lug nut. Both sets of rims have the plastic center caps that attatch to the lug nuts. I plan to put a set of 245/75/16 kumho road venture at tires on the aluminums.
Thanks,

They should work. I believe a fellow member, BlenderWizard, has done something similar.

He'll check in soon.

It should work, as long as the lug nuts are rounded on the side that seats to the rims... I switched my 16x7 to 20x8.5 silverado SS rims and they bolted up right up no problems:grinyes:

Bingo, check the pics. IIRC the lugs were the same, but don't quote me on that

It fits! (x4). Thanks for the help. I had the the rims installed with the new tires I got on Ebay. The seller had a local shop and I was able to see the tires up front before I bought them. I got Electra Ironman LT 66 tires made by Hercules tire. They have the same thread pattern as Hercules terra trac mt. They cost me $409 installed. I will try to get pics soon.

Congrats man!

Glad you're happy and everything worked out in your favor.:)
