I think its a clearance issue for the HD brakes diesels have.

so the xd diesel, in a 17x9, can't be used on 3rd gen ctd at all, or it will not fit with certain tire sizes?

I'm pretty sure it's due to a slightly different shape of the wheel ring. The Diesels won't fit over the brakes, but the Hoss do. I think some have made them fit by grinding the calipers.

kind of ironic, that a wheel named 'diesel' won't fit on a diesel truck.
