You can barely see it anyway. Just looks like a blurry star. And I really need to invest in a good telescope. My binoculars aren't cutting it.

Ok, here goes: Subject: 2007 Chevy Colorado Xtreme Question 1 Part A: Stock wheel specs: -Diameter = 18" -Width = 8" -Offset = +28mm -Bolt pattern = 6 x 5.5" New wheel specs: -Diameter = 20" -Width = 8.5" -Offset = *to be determined* -Bolt pattern = 5 x ? (neogotiable) Switching wheels will require the use of a bolt pattern adapter. Adapter specs: -Width = 1.900" (48mm) MINIMUM -Bolt pattern = 6 x 5.5" --- 5 x ? (whatever I choose) Now, in order to avoid any clearance issues, I'd like to keep the offset of the new wheels, as well as the overall external dimensions of the tire (plus sizing?), as close as possible to stock specs. Here's the rundown: Essentially, if I run a 48mm adapter plate behind the wheel, it will give me 48mm LESS (towards the negative) offset than what I'm currently running (+28mm). Doing so would put me at a -20mm offset. Not where I want to be. So, in order to counteract that, I would basically need to purchase a set of wheels with a +48mm offset. Is this correct logic? +28mm (stock offset) - 48mm (adapter) = -20mm (total offset) -20mm (total offset) + wheel with +48mm offset = original +28mm offset Amirite so far? If so, move on to part B of the question. Question 1 Part B: Here are my BEST options as far as what available for the wheel I want: Bolt Pattern / Offset -5x108mm (4.25") / +42mm -5x120mm (4.75") (my first choice in bolt patterns) / +20mm -5x120mm (4.75") / +35mm Now, according to my math in part one, I would need a wheel with as close to +48mm offset as possible to stay as close to my stock geometry as possible. That would obviously be the first choice. Though, it would still put me 6mm short of my goal. What this mean is the wheels would be moved out 1/4" further on each side, not counting the additonal 1/4" caused by the extra wheel width. But, in the end I would prefer to go with the 120mm spacing if at all possible. If I went with the 120mm option, the +35mm would be the clear choice in that regard. However, it would put me 13mm (1/2") short of my goal. 13mm short of my goal = the wheels would stick out 1/2" further on each side. 3/4" when you factor in the wheel width as well. Which wheel do I go with? p.s. Truck will be left at stock height. I have also yet to check how much clearance I have with the stock tires/wheels. Doing so would greatly help me answer this question. Until then, all I've got is CR's advice.

You mean to tell me that you spotted that barely visable blurry ass star look-a-like out of the fucking blue? dude...

Yea. I was waaaaay overthinking the situation. It's a Monday. It happens.

BTW, thanks for the advice man. Those look like just the ticket.

Alright. Who's the asshole?

This is the most obvious answer, and I completely didn't think of it. Thanks for the reality check. And yes, it is 6 x 5.5"

Go you! p.s. Yes, I know this is a tech question, but leave it here, Damn it. Nobody goes to the Tech Section.

I'm looking at a particular set of wheels for my Colorado, but unfortunatly, they are only produced in 5 lug patterns, and GM decided to change the Colorados to 6 lug.....for whatever reason. So, I got to thinking; I wonder how hard it would be to switch to a 5 lug pattern. Most of the decent looking wheels are produced in the 5 bolt style (I hate 6 spokes anyways). Rears = drum. Not sure how I could do this. Front = disk. I would guess it'd require a new hub, probably custom, as well as a new rotor of the same dimension. Thoughts? I'm thinking it's probably not worth the aggravation and money. But, if it's something that maybe a particular company specializes in, then I might look into it.

Those pics make me dizzy.

15.62 @ 87 Only ran once after sitting in line for an hour; got pissed, and left. Stock '07 Colorado. I'm confident there's more in it but I simply don't give a shit. Standby for spring.

I haven't went for a couple years now. I used to go down to my friend's cabin in the Hocking hills region. I really need to get that thing back out and shoot some.

Pfft. Fuckin doubt it.

Criminals such as himself deserve to be shot. Don't worry though. His time is coming.

There are; we're just keeping them a secret from you.

might try to make it out in the Colorado

I HATE that new Cuntry Boner song. With a passion.

Zach/k aka 'Uberdub' ???

Could have done w/o that song.

Is one able to play on Xbox live w/ a satellite connection? i.e. High latency.

Same here.

You are. Pictars of a Lightning. They're in here somewhere.

QUIT PUSHING YOUR OPINION ON ME!!!lc

How does one (particularly a computer illiterate one) setup something like that?
