The offsett is different I believe.. so you may have tire wear on the outer edge of your fendor with the 71's rim..I think the bolt patteren is the same.. You may also be required fender flares

No they won't fit. I'm thinking 99-2003 has a unique bolt pattern.

no, they will not fit

98 & earlier = 8 x 6.5" bolt pattern

99 & later = 8 x 170mm bolt pattern

They're close, but I've physically checked and they will not work - sorry bro..

I tried to keep my Mickey Thompsons from my 97 for my new truck and I actually tried to put them on. No go. It's a real kick in the nuts.

I think it's an 8x170 bolt pattern instead of 8x6.5

Correct the "Super Duty" trucks...early 99 through the present are all 8x170mm.

Thread pitch of the studs has changed over the years, as has stock back space, but the bolt pattern has remained the same.
