what vehicles have stock 16" wheels that you could swap onto a 4x4 first gen and will work without spacers. i want to get some 16" wheels off something at a junk yard that will clear my front brakes and tie rod. i have 16.5's on it now with tires that are too big and bald.

 

you can get some alcoas off of an f250 but in 1999 they changed the lug pattern. hope this helps

 

IIRC, all the 2nd gen. wheels will bolt right on, as well as earlier GMC wheels. As jdbigblue said, Ford went metric with the 'Superduty' trucks, (can't remember what year that was) but AFAIK anything before that should bolt up also.

 

I tried some newer 2nd gen I think and they hit the brakes and tie rod on front

 

Mmm. I've been misinformed apparently. I'm pretty sure 3rd gen wheels you need a spacer for, but I didn't think you did with 2nd gens. I'll have to go back an re-read...

 

i put my buddys spare 2nd gen 24v wheel on front of mine and it hits. offset is way different. 12v 2nd gen wheels will work though

 

just tried some 2005 chevy 8 lugs they hit as well

 

the aluminum 2nd gen dodge wheels will only clear very short tie rod brackets on steering knuckles. and they are designed for disc brakes. hope this helps.

 

2nd Gen chrome steel wheels are a direct bolt, all you change is the lug nuts. Cut out the caps with a 4 inch hole saw for the hub locks. I have these on my 1st Gen. 3rd gen require a spacer.

so is the hitting thing on 2wd or 4wd?
