No the offset is different they changed it in '05. Maybe if you had some spacers it would work.

Rims and spacers dont have anything to do with your spedo... the outside diameter of the tire will. You have to know what size tire you had and compare that to the tire size your going to and see if there is a difference.

This calculator I have found quite handy when dealing with tire sizes:

Lets see............I have an 04 (16" rims) and I am looking at 08 (17") rims...........Uh I think that qualifies as the tires being a different size.

Thanks for the calculator though...........

Not sure what you mean. Rim size has nothing to do with tire size, I mean you can have just about any tire size you want on 16, 17, 18, or whatever size rims... Even if you stick with just the stock tires I think there a various sizes, for example in 04 I think one of the common tire sizes were 265's. In that case your 04 would have a larger sized tire than my 09 not the other way around, in both width and hieght. Mine only has 245's. And if your buying new tires you can throw on any number of sizes...
