If you have one or know someone that does I would suggest just trying it to be sure.

Measure the distance from the inside of the rim to the closest point on the caliper. If it's more than 1/2" your 17s should fit. I would make sure that there is going to be a little bit of a gap between the caliper and rim for any imperfections, balancing weights (depending on the kind you use) and cooling.

Stock 17s, yes.

Aftermarket 17s.....some will and others won't do to the shape of the backside of the wheel.

Yes, a buddy of mine runs the 17" 951s on his 06.


17" KMC XD Series hit (at least the Diesels did on his truck), I think Eagle Alloy 17" hit as well.


Personally I recommend 18s for better tire selection, but that normally only applies to oversized tires.
