the breaks are only compatible with the 20 Inch wheel that you get with the RS package or the 21 Inch wheel you can order separately from the dealer

I believe everyone will agree that's a BIG no.

But I have a pristine set of 20" polished RS wheels in the garage I've been meaning to run an add on...

Drop me a pm.

I think the OP has the 2LT without the RS package, so guessin he had the stock 19" wheels.
