So can I run 2nd gen aluminum wheels on my 1st gen 2wd? Any, or what wheels can I run?

I got those crapy steel ones off a 07 they were free so I cant complain:tu: and I ordered 1/8'' spacers from JCwhittny for like 10bucks a piece and I have no problems with them:jump: but since your is two wheel drive dont know but yes the2nd gens will fit and you sould have no rubbing problems

You'd need spacers with 2nd gen wheels too. I bought a set for my truck and the inside of the wheel hits the upper control arm

You can run any wheels that will fit over the calipers with the correct backspace/offset to look right and not rub. Looks is optional. :tttt:

The stock 1st Gen wheels are 6" wide with zero offset.

What I learned doing it :argh:

Basically, the rear end is easy. You can swap out the 1/2" studs for 9/16" studs. They are a standard D60 style stud with a .625" knurl. The front is where you get screwed. Its an odd ball .723" knurl. And you can't get a 9/16" stud with that knurl. So, you have to either buy a set of adapters that will bolt to the stock 1/2" studs and convert over to 9/16", or you have to redrill the hub and rotor for new studs. We were in a bind so we had them drilled out and put 1/2" spacers between the wheel and rotor. 3/4" would be ideal, but I think the smallest adapter you will find is like 1" or 1 1/4".

1.25" without shaving the studs.

1stGen 1-ton = 9/16, 3/4-ton = 1/2

All 2nd Gen and later are 9/16 stud.
