Offsset cut off

[Flooringit]

I know the offset in rims are different from the 05s. Which year dis the offset change? I have a 2000 going to buy rims tomorrow from a 2003 I don't want to buy adapters. Are they the same offset from 99.5 to 2003 and change in 2004. Thanks for your help

1999 - 2004 use the same offset.

2005 and newer have a different offset because of the bigger brake setup.

Thanks. I thought so but wasn't 100% sure. How much work is involved in changing to the bigger brakes?

wasnt the axles widened to compensate that offset difference as well?

the issue was that they were in too much. this all discussed in the sd chat thread. i still want em tho. and that red truck style is one of em and the 05 king ranch rims too.
