'03 wheels on a '97

[peobryant]

My brother just bought an '03 Common Rail that has Eagle Alloys on it (its a pretty sharp truck, for a 3rd gen) and the previous owner let him have the stock wheels. My dad wants to put them on his truck, so will they just bolt up, or will he have to do some modifying?

Thanks

They'll bolt on, but it'll look kinda like a ginourmous dually motorcycle with all that negatve offset and probably rub somewhere, depending on lift/tires.

ive seen several 2nd gens with 3rd gen wheels on them. they dont look like a dually motorcycle thingy, i think....i must admit i dont know what that is really....

3rd gen wheels look great on a 2nd gen

[Ace]

Yep, y'all are right. I don't know why I was thinking we were talking about a 1st Gen....

[RumbleFish]

you think this is a 1st gen forum or what???

Sometimes I just skip to the end before I finish reading the question if I think I already know the answer. Or in this case, skip the beginning and go straight to the end.

He put them on today, but the caps for the rear wheels didn't fit...?

There was a lifted reg cab 93 4x4 forsale on one of the sites that had 06 wheels on it and it looked great. It was a single wheel.

The 4wd 1st gens are super easy to put 3rd gen wheels on. Its the 2wd trucks that are very hard to do. I know, we did it on my 91.5. Never again without adapters on a 2wd. . . . . .
