04 dodge 17s fit?

[ARhine]

A guy I know offered to sell me his 17" stock aluminum rims and Michelin 265/70R17s LTXs on them to me for 575 bucks. He bought a new sport model truck and put aftermarket rims and more agressive tires on.



According to Michelins spec page these are . 4" shorter than the 235/75R16s on my truck, so not to much difference. My question is does anybody know if the newer rims will bolt up and work OK, or is the boltpattern or backspacing on the newer rims different.



I would just bolt them up and try if he wasnt 3hrs away.

yes and no. They will bolt up but the backspacing is too much for a 2wd. I ended up having some 1" spacers made with a 9/16" wheel stud so the center caps could be snapped into place. These hub caps snap onto the acorn nut.

They should,what he said bout the backspacing but you should be fine if you got a 4wd. The only thing I'd look at is the diameter of the hole to see if it would clear the front hubs that are on your truck if its 4wd. If I remember they are using the unit bearing hubs still so they don't have to have the big hub sticking out of the wheel. Otherwise they should work. .
