My brother has a 1994 Chevy K2500 (4x4) Silverado. Has the 5.7L, extended cab short bed. 6 lug.

What wheels fit it? He doesn't really care about style of the wheels, we're looking on Craigslist. It came with 15" wheels and he wants to go back to the stock 16" size.

Will any 6 lug Chevy wheels fit? Mainly worried about the center ring diameter.
 
Any 6 lug GM wheel will fit. They haven't changed the lug pattern and hub size on the new trucks so if you come across 22" 6 lug wheels from a Chevy truck on craigslist post pics if you get them installed.

Lug pattern 6x5.5

Offset Range: -25 to 18
Wheel Size Range: 15x7.0 to 24x10
Hub Diameter: 90mm

You should be careful when picking a replacement rim.
 
I have a '98 K1500 with 16" wheels. Put a set of 2014 K2xx 17" wheels on it. Bolted right up, looks & feels awesome!

OP's wheels are 6 lug. '14 2500 have to be 8 lug.

Yes, 2500s are 8-lug. K2xx encompasses the entire lineup succeeding the GMT900 platform - including the 1500 series; which, in my case is what I put on my GMT400 K1500.

I think it looks great. These are the wheels on my truck:

I'm looking at hoping to pick up a set of 17" 2012 Tahoe wheels for my 2002 with original 16s on it. Looking at stock wheel specs, offsets seem very close to the right/the same when taking into account the 2012 wheel is 1/2" wider. The stock 2012 tire is 1" taller.. no biggie, should be a better fill of the wheel well and skews my speedometer by just 2 at 60mph.. though it does end up giving back most of the sidewall height that I would have lost by going to 17s from 16s. If I get them, I'll get before and after pictures on my original owner '02. It's a 4wd LT 5.3L with about 150k on it. It's been a great and very reliable truck. The only significant repairs I can think of are two starters and A/C belt tensioner.
 
He got these today. (The picture is from Google images). They're K1500 wheels, came with a lousy set of tires (he's replacing anyways) for $100.
