I could not find a write up on anyone doing a Chevy wheel swap onto a 4x4 so here it is.
Wheels are steel 17"s off of a Chevy van 2012 I think.
Of course the center bore was 2.5 as are all the small center Chevy wheels.
I took a 2x6 and drilled it to fit inside the wheel and bolted it to the wheel using large bolts and the factory lug nuts.(not factory but similar)
I the measured in three directions to find my center point.
Then used a standard metal 4" hole saw bit and a 1/2 drill to cut my center bores.
This is of course no longer useable for balancing as it's not perfect. But it allows clearance of the front junbs and rear centering nubs.
Most modern day tire shops at least have access to pin plates to mount the wheel to the balancer at the lug holes instead of the center bore. At least every one I have ever worked at has.
If you guys have any questions please let me know.
