2016 Colorado/Canyon doable wheels swap

[OR VietVet]

I have been looking for some nicer alloy wheels than my stock alloy Tahoe wheels. I found some take offs from a 2016 GMC Canyon that I like and they are a six lug wheel. The stud spread is 5.5" so I am not worried there. The Canyon is a 12-1.5 thread and my Tahoe is a 14-1.5 thread. I am worried that the wheel hole itself could be too small to be able to reuse my lug nuts and I am also worried about the center clearance area at the back of the wheel where it would need to clear my hub flange area. The seller says the wheels are coming off a diesel rig. The tire size is going from a 265/70R16 to a 265/60R18. The tire inflated height appears to be the exact same so I am not worried about turning interference unless the offset is way different. I tried to look it all up in a crossover diagram but says the Colorado/Canyon are the same from 2004 on and I am not sure of that and the seller also says he heard the wheels would not fit the 2002 Tahoe I have. Any thoughts?

Never mind. A little more deep research found my answer. The center hub size needed for the 2002 Tahoe is 78.1 mm and the stock alloy wheels for the 2016 Canyon have a center hub size of 66.9 mm. To fit would require an enlargening of the hub hole to clear and has been done before but I am not interested in that.

The new Colorado wheels are not the same bolt pattern. I believe they are a 6x120 (though not positive), not a 6x139.7....

Moot point now. I decided to pass on the tires and wheels. I know one thing though, never ever will I use spacers.

This is an old ass thread but completely answered my question. I too was looking at a cheap set of Canyon takeoffs. “The Canyon is a 12-1.5 thread and my Tahoe is a 14-1.5 thread” was my concern but the hubs are the real issue. I’m not interested in modifying the hub size either. SFFTW
