I know with the H2 wheels guys run you have to machine the center bore to clear the hubs. I would think any other GM wheel would require the same.

Machining the bore will make a safer wheel than having too large a bore though. On the stock wheel the weight is carried and the wheel centered at the bore/register face, and the lugs only hold the wheel tight to the hub and transmit power.

These are off of an '08 I was told. Machine out the center and away you go. I think they look better on a dually front axle...
