Does anyone know if the bolt pattern changed on wheel hubs with the body style change between 2002 and 2003. Can I put the 04 wheels on my 2002? Thanks

I believe that the pattern is still 8x6.5. You should be able to but you can't put the older 16" or 16.6 wheels on a new truck but don't see why you can't go the other way

The bolt pattern is the same, they will work, just can't go the other way because of bigger brakes on new trucks, that's why they have 17" wheels

Edit - misread question and provided a worthless answer to start with

I am not aware of any brake clearance issues but I know my front rim-to-caliper clearance would not allow stick-on wheel weights inside the bowl without knocking them off. The 04 rims should work but not vice-versa.

OK, I've searched and this is the closest post I've come up with to hijack Here's my situation, just need a go or no-go. I want to run 315/70/17's on factory '03 17x8 wheels on my '98. I plan on a set of D25's up front. WILL IT WORK? Or do I need aftermarket wheels?

Thanks, John
