well you wont have to get new studs of drill anything to run em. theyll bolt right up. just make sure you use the right lugnut that mates with the wheel, and make sure they lugnuts are 12x1.5mm. 1/2in lugnuts will strip out the first time you try to tighten them down.

now for pics, ive never seen a luv with those, but peeroys luv has GMC sierra 17s on it with a 205 40 tire. ill get a new pic of his truck later on tonite when he comes over.

I know 8 hole lugs are the same. I could run ford, dodge and chevy on my 3/4 ton chevy 8 hole setup. I guess the 6 lug are the same too.

Be careful with the Ford rims as Ford put some real bastard bolt patterns on there trucks since 99 and i am not sure if the six hole wheel is the same as the GM.

This is true on the 8 lug wheels for sure. I speak from used tire and wheel from Craigs list not fitting on my '86 Suburban experience.
Around 99-2001 I don't know exactly, Ford went to a metric hole spacing on the 8 lug wheels. They will not fit other 8 lug vehicles.

On some of the GM wheels you need to hog out the center some.

Hey, just an FYI- in near all cases, you can NOT run GM 8 lugs on older Ford 8 lugs, & it goes for both dually wheels & 3/4 ton wheels. The centers on the Chebby/Jimmy wheels is smaller than the Ford's. They no slide over the hub, in other words. :wink:

Mind you, thats in relation to stock wheels, not aftermarket ones.

I just wanted to point that out in case someone had thought about doing it the other way 'round, Papa.

stock Ford onto a Chevy- yes
stock Chevy onto a Ford- nope
