i have seen it posted on here a few times now. why does everyone say the front axle is wider? have you guys ever driven in snow, dirt, mud, ect? your rear wheels follow the same path as your front wheels, heck i'll even take a pic in the snow today to prove it.

even if the axles were different widths, i would keep the backspacing the same on all 4 wheels, your going to have to rotate them sometime. your front end is narrower than the rear, that is why your front axle looks wider. the body tapers in from the cab to the grille.

also, the truck pic you posted in your first post is a 6 bolt lug pattern, not a 5 bolt. i hope you told the company you ordered your wheels from, your year and make.

Thumbs down

So... they sent me the wrong wheels, and said wheels are being returned as we speak. I called them... and apparently they now only have three left of the style I want, the guy claims they sold four last week.

I tried to convince him that he should give me a discount on some different wheels since THEY screwed up, wasted my time, blah blah blah. I was relatively nice about it too! haha... but no go, they won't even pay for return shipping, which I think is sh*tty since it was their mistake.

So gmc, you will probably be happy to know I have decided to go with my second choice and outfit my truck with some American Racing Outlaw II's.
