Military rims

pretty sure you have Bolt Pattern: 8x170mm




and the military is Bolt Pattern: 8x6.5 inch (8x165.1mm)
you would need pricey adapters and have ugly rims

Ok thank you, it was more of a cheap fix idea since thoes rims are cheap, but if the adapter is pricey then im roughly in the same spot, next question I have read that other years like 05+ that those rims will rub? now that I have lifted the truck will they still rub or does it rub in a different area? thanks

The 05+ rims actually have a different back spacing that brings the wheel in about 2 inches closer to the truck. It is also recommended to use spacers for these if not absolutely nessisary

16.5s will not fit on an 05+ truck as they wont clear the brake calipers

you can get cheapy rims for 83 a piece and have basic black steel rims great for a set of winter tires. I have an early 04 and got a cheap set of rims from craigslist at 50 buck each. there are deals but it helps if you are not in a need them yesterday situation.
hope that is of some help

i also know a guy with 16.5's who runs miltiary tires on the cheap that might help you out some?

I have a set of 05 17's the truck came with and they do rub the springs without spacers...just fyi and pretty sure it is an 8/170 bolt pattern as well as stated earlier in the thread.

I put 16.5`s on my 04 a few years ago. They aren`t the military but are nice looking rim`s. The problem with them is most tire company`s have quit producing the 16.5`s
