You're right, no dice. The pattern on the newer rims are wider.

I'll have to exchange for the right ones tomorrow.

Dg you will also have to get the new washered style nuts even if they do fit,which I think they will go on.If you don't want them I might have a friend who will for his 03.

well that proves it once and for all, it makes sense that since they are different spacing that they wont fit but there were a few that swore they swapped them and it worked. it can be layed to rest now

wasnt just you, lots of people haev sworn by it, you just said you thought it worked...lol but ford wheels will fit a dodge but dodge wheels wont fit a ford..... try that one on for sizee....lol. the holes in the center of the dodge wheel isnt big enough to slide over the whole hub on our trucks but the ford's have a larger hole so they fit right onto a dodge truck....... good thing dodge wheels are ugly. and chebby's have a different bolt pattern i do beleive
