Newer Wheels?

ACFarmer · Dec 27, 2011

Hey guys, Just picked up my 02 and it just has factory wheels on it. I like the look of the newer style wheels that came on like 6.0's? I think they came in 17 and 18's. From what I've been looking at online they came on 06's. They have the round holes. Will that style work on my 02? I thought I remembered reading somewhere that the back spacing wasent right maybe?:doh:

You will need a spacer for the front - the 05+ had a wider front axle, I know where a set of those wheels are with good tires Derek.

Yeah I small spacer will take care of that. I got a few sets of 05-up wheels for sale

Like an inch spacer? I just like the looks of those wheels better than my factory wheels on my 02. Probably use them for winter wheels then get another set for summer. Biggest thing that scares me is having to use spacers and hanging my plow on the front of the truck. Whats the specs on the wheels Josh?

03 and 04 6.0L wheels don't require anything.

No but 05 and up wheels do require spacers to look normal on 04 and older trucks

The 8 holes came in a 17x7.5 or a 18x8...The amount of spacer more depends on your tire rubing the leaf spring.
