Wheel offset? '04 = '06?
Is the wheel offset the same for an '06 to an '04? I am looking at buying some wheels from a guy with an '06 to put on my '04.
Thanks!

No.
99-04 is different than 05+.
More Back Space on 05+ so they sit further under the truck/closer to the leaf springs when mounted on a 99-04 4x4.
To run 05+ wheels on a 99-04 SD you need wheel spacers (high quality billet steel, hub-centric....approx $350 per pair).

Thanks! Out of curiosity who makes them and what is the thickness. I'm not gonna buy them unless he lowers the price to offset the cost. Which i doubt he'll do. ( I wouldn't!)

A 1.5" spacer would be more then enough. You really only need 1.32" to bring the wheels back to stock positioning...

need closer to 2 in so you dont have to cut the studs though
the spacer/adapters bolt to the hubs then have there own studs
so you have 16 lugs per corner
if the spacers are 2 inch you dont have to cut the original studs shorter
