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 and I ordered 1/8'' spacers from JCwhittny for like 10bucks a piece and I have no problems with them but since your is two wheel drive dont know but yes the2nd gens will fit and you sould have no rubbing problems

 

spacers and larger wheels studs.

 

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.

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

 

I have 3rd gen wheels on my 91.5 -



What I learned doing it

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.

 

stud size on newer trucks are actually a bit smaller i think 1/2 inch and my 93 has 16mm studs or just a little bit over 5/8 i put 03 rims on mine so i know first hand just fyi

all black

or chrome just depends on how im feeling that day i need the center caps tho

 

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

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

 

My 1st gen W350 dually has 5/8 studs.
