Find the spec for the higher class truck's wheels...rim width (bead to bead),
offset and load rating
Toss in hub centric or not. Hard to find after market alloys with hub centric
designs
Best to just go out and buy some take offs from that bigger truck
OEM's ratings are what the regulatory agencies go by. You can have it legally
changed (a licensed firm with PE/ME's signing off on the modifications, etc)
but that will cost more than just going out and buying a bigger truck
My eyeballs aren't good enough to see the differences between them. Like the
disc's are thicker, the pads are thicker, the caliper is bigger, the MC has
larger bores, the proportioning valving is different (if they have a proportioning
valve body), software is different (mainly temp and safeties) and whatever
else is out there that I've not found on my GMT400
