4th gen wheels on a 2nd gen?
Has anyone used 4th gen rims on a 2nd gen? Looks like the rear axle wont clear the inner diameter and the hubcap on the 4th gen wheels.
It sucks trying to find used rims in 18 or 20 for this thing. Everything I find either screams BLING or the offset would cause them to rub. Thats after skipping all the rims that came in metric.
Stock 4th gen 18" ones look nice but Im betting they dont fit =(

Hmm I’ve seen pics. Never looked into how they were mounted though.

I have a feeling spacers were probably used for the rear wheels. dont want to put spacers on the truck for safety reasons

I’ve always heard that and my wheels will probably fall off tomorrow, but I’ve ran them on fast cars that dead hooked, a rig on 40’s, and now a clapped out 2nd gen with no problems. I’m more worried about my steering column u joint coming undone than a forged spacer with 8 lug nuts holding it on haha

I drove a couple hundred miles on the highway, came home and found my pitman arm nut was held on by a couple threads once.. Nylock nut backed off while I was driving.
drilled everything out for castle nuts and cotter pins after I saw that.

No spacers, bolted right up no problems.
Again this was a dually, don't know if single wheel would swap over the same.

yeah the axle stubs on the SRW axle is what worries me. the inside diameter looks small and the hubcap doesnt look tall enough to cover it.

A fellow on TDR posted this about a set of 2015 4th Gen wheels he bought. The fellow he bought them from told him they were 17’s. He has a ‘98 RWD. Evidently, the 18’s have more offset.
Quote:
The wheels made me aware of 2 issues:
1st, if they had been 17’s, they wouldn't have worked on my 2wd. The deeper offset would have made the inside of the rim hit my upper control arm, but the 18’s cleared.
2nd, the cap is only about 3" diameter. The wheel body necks down to fit the smaller cap, so they won't fit over the rear hub by about 3/4". So, either wheel spacers or maybe cut off the end of the hub section on the wheel to fit my 98 Dana 70 hub.

Axle width on 2nd gens are different. 97-99 is different than 00-02. The later is an inch wider i think. And the hub is a inch shorter on the rear on the later.

I has been running 3rd gen steel wheels for a while, switched to set of 4th gen 17" aluminum wheels last night. They fit fine, might actually sit out just a tad over the 3rd gen wheels, not much if any, but maybe. The 4th gen wheels are from an '11 if that matters. Looks like putting lipstick on a pig!
