I have a deluxe set of aluminum wheels off a 2002 super duty and will be putting them on a 2003 super duty with steel wheels. The factory aluminum mags have the polished center caps which look like they snap on the lug nuts somehow. Will I have to buy different lug nuts or will these wheels and center caps interchange exactly with the xl steel wheels? Do the caps just snap on the lug nuts or do I need more hardware?? Thanks, Kurt

the center caps will just snap right onto the old lug nuts no problem! you will need no new hardware.

Do all the hubs have the same length studs? Aluminum wheels will require longer studs than steel, but it seems that they all would be the same, and the steel wheels would just have a little more thread showing on the stud. I don't know for sure with the SRW trucks. This was an issue with my dually when I wanted to put aluminum rims on the inside of the rear axle to replace the steel ones. I just decided to leave it alone.

Then I just got rid of the dually...

 

I went from steel wheels on an 02,SD,SRW to Mickey Thompson Forged aluminum wheels and bought the center caps from the local ford dealer and all went together just fine.

 

I also made the switch from stell to Alum. wheels. I switched from the hole design that came on my Excursion XLT , to go for the Limited wheels. Had no issues at all .
