If your talking about wheels, all GM vehicles I believe are 6 lugs and all Ford vehicles are 5 lugs. You may correct me if i'm wrong, but the answer to your question is yes.

The newer Ford's are 6 lug. Ford wheels interchange on the same platform(F150/Expedition/Navigator) until they change something, usually every 2 or 3 years. GM wheels also interchange. But you have to beware of changes in the brakes or suspension that might keep wheels from interchanging. When GM went to 17" wheels, the brakes got bigger, so the 16" wheels couldn't be put on the newer trucks, but the newer wheels could be put on the older trucks. Most of the time they make the changes drastic enough that the older OE wheels will not physically fit. The aftermarket wheels present more of a challenge. With the aftermarket wheels you should be sure of what they are suppoosed to fit. If not sure what they fit, a trial fit-up may work to check clearances. Usually the is enough difference between Ford/Chrysler/GM to keep from interchanging the wheels. The OE's have different nut systems and wheel offsets. Ie.trying to put a Chrysler on a GM is asking for trouble.

The bolt patern for most GM is 6/139 (6x5.5) with a Center bore of 78mm
Now if the Suburban is a 2500 model is 8x6.5. But if its a 1500 late model , it should be 6/139 wich should be fine. Ford on the other hand, is 6/135 with a 30mm + offset. These will never work on any GM model.

I hope this helps you:coolgleam

Well I'm glad I looked at the ol forum today cuz this is right on topic. I guess I somewhat regret to say I just traded in my 2000 Escalade for a brand new 05 F150 XLT 4x4.

My main question is if I can put the 22" Giovannas I used to have on my Escalade on my Ford truck now. They both have that 6 bolt pattern, but from what I'm hearing those bolts may be spaced differently. I guess I have to ask because I'm reading mixed answers. Hell I dunno if it'll look good on this truck anyways...

Can anyone confirm? Possible or no?

Sorry to inform you, but your escalade wheels will not fit your new 05' f150. Even though they show 6 lugs they are different in pattern and offsets. Your Escalade is 6/139 and the ford is 6/135 and requires a 30+ offset.

No prob.. thx for the info. Guess thatll just be a little more cash to go in the pocket.

Anyone want some 22" Giavanna Genoas with Perelli Scorpion Zeros on them? Theres about 20,000 mi on the rubber and the chome is almost perfect on the rims.. Retailed around 3800 for everything when I got them. Im looking for 2K.
