Joe, I have been through the same run-a-around, and the best info I could come up with is the stock "PYO" alum wheels on the 2500HD are 16x6.5 and good for 3100lbs, the steel wheels on the 3500HD are 16x7 and good for 3500lbs.(02'-08') I'm not sure the year they went to 17" wheels, think it was in 09'. I ended up going with Alcoa 16x7 alum, rated for 3750lbs. I didn't want 19.5 wheels, way to harsh of a ride for me, and I didn't want a steel wheel, personaly don't like the look.
That pretty much sums up the GM wheel options . Very limited compared to Dodge and Ford .
You haven't specified the truck year or tire size . If you are talking 285's on a 7" rim , yes it will wear the centers more .
I believe the Alcoa's mentioned above are actually listed as trailer wheels and are not hub-centric if that matters .
Another alternative is Stockton Wheel and have some made to your specs.
