The ‘06 wheels will bolt up but they will sit about 1.75” too far inward from where they should be, which will cause rubbing on the springs up front. In ‘05 the front suspensions changed and the wheel geometry is different between pre and post ‘05. A set of 2” thick hubcentric spacers will move the newer wheels out to where they should be under the older truck.

This is exactly what you need to run those 2006 HD rims on your 2002:

You didn't state weather your truck is 2wd or 4wd. However, I just went through this with my wife's 2000 Excursion that is 2wd. I bought several sets of one year only 2004 18" wheels and wound up buying new 2020 275/70/18 factory spare units that had never been bolted up for the Goodyear tires. The steel wheels have the 05 and up offset and I wanted to see if they would fit as the Excursion has a bit of a different situation for the spare tire cavity storage. The tire and wheel does in fact fit without rubbing anything, but as aforementioned it sits a bit inward. I still would not do this for long term use, but for a spare it's okay for me. The 2" spacers are an option as long as you install them as recommended, but I personally don't like the idea especially for a truck that pulls and/or hauls heavy.
