Will my old rims fit my "new" Jimmy?

Will the aluminum rims from my 1995 Jimmy fit my 2005 Jimmy? I'd like to use the old rims for snow tires. Thanks

best way to check is the tire size, like 235/60/r15 or whatever it is. see if they are the same. the 5 lug pattern should fit

One more other thing is to make sure that they are both from a 4 wheel drive of 2 wheel drive. If you try to put 2 wheel drive rims on a 4 wheel drive system. The tire and rimes will be pushed out side of the fender wells. Reason for that is because the rims offset are different. 4 wheel drive has a wider wheel base then the 2 wheel drive.

Gabe,

I'm glad you mentioned that. My old Jimmy is a 2WD and my new one is a 4WD (actually it only works in 2WD right now, but that's another story).
Thanks!
