Is this possible? If so, is it safe?

I have a shot at putting a set of Chrome H2 wheels on my 1500 Z71 Av and find that thought appealing.
 
I do not see how thepattern would line up for you to get all 6 lugs on??

I doubt any tire guy would do it....
 
Last months issue of trucks magazine had an add in it just for that.
The company was in (where else) California.
If my son didn't take the magazine I will look it up for you.

My guess is you either change the wheel hub, or possibly has to be the whole axle to the 8 lug version. But it's been a loooong time since I knew anyone that did it.
 
Found this at a site where I bought a set of wheel spacers for my Av. I've had my 6 lug to 6 lugs for over a year. -Problem free.

If the above link doesn't directly take you to the product, browse the "Wheel Adapters" menu at this site to locate what you're looking for . . . or for what you were once looking for.
