2005 Wheels On A 2004

Does anyone know if 18" wheels off of a 2005 Superduty will fit on a 2004 Superduty?
Thanks

I believe that the 05's are a different offset than the older SD's

I believe the '05 will not work. They will hit your leaf springs when you turn.

I am pretty sure I seen a older D with '05 wheels on it the other day, I wouldn't be supprised if they rubbed, they were really tucked in the wheel wells, looked bad!

I was just wondering. The local Ford dealer here has the 2005 18" ten hole aluminum wheels with 285/75/18 tires for $550, I was hoping they would fit.

05 18" wheels on an 04 - Not.

I have an 05 that came with 18" wheels but BFGs won't come in that size. I bought after market (Procomp) so I have the take-offs with 65 miles. A friend with an 04 Excursion needed tires and we thought the wheels would fit, so we tried... and tried. Even with 3/8" spacers between the rotors and wheels, the tires (295s) still hit the leaf spring. It looked like we still needed another 3/4". (and I was only asking $400!). Bummer.

The '05 wheels have the same 8 x 170mm bolt centers and the same 4.93" bore hub center as the '99-'04's, but the offsets are different. The '99-'04's have 0.25" offset where as the 05" are 1.57", so a difference of 1.32"

I found these 1.5" spacers on eBay (http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eB...category=42614)

At $108 for a pair ($216 + $20 shipping for two pairs), I would just buy the right wheels to begin with.
