2008 rim bolt pattern fit a 2005?

[barry1me]

hey does anyone know if the 2008's wheels will fit a 2005?

I put my factory 18" wheels on a 2007 PS our company owns. The 2008 wheels have about 6" of backspace which were fine on the 2007; they should work on a 2005 with coil front springs.

Is it possible to get these to fit my 2000? I love the factory 18 inch polished bullet hole wheels.

The 2008 wheels will only fit on 2005 and newer. Backspace issue as the coil spring trucks have to have a positive offset wheel. I had 10" Welds on my 2000, they only had 4 1/2" of backspace (lots of dish) whereas the wheels I put on my 2008 are 9" wide with 5" of backspace (the factory wheels have 6" of backspace-the inside of the wheel would rub on things on a pre-2005 truck).

So to make it work would require spacers i take it?

I suppose, although I have never been a fan of wheel spacers. The problem with spacers is that the wheel is still just as wide as before, it just now sticks out further.

I know, and it also puts more stress on the wheel bearings when it sticks out farther.
