Can I put 2017 aluminum wheels on my 2006?
Will 18" 2017 factory aluminum F250 wheels fit my 2006 F250 that currently has 17" stock rims?
From what I've been reading, it LOOKS like 2005+ are all the same but there's so much info about this stuff I can't tell.
Thanks in advance!

Thanks for the answers thus far. The reason I ask is that I've seen all sorts of things about offsets and spacers needed in certain instances (though I think that's when crossing over the '04-'05 barrier). While I had noted that the lugs and spacing are all the same, I didn't know if there might be similar issues with 11 years of distance between vehicles.
I need tires and have factory steel rims. Found some aluminum take-offs with 18" rims (my 17's look kinda paltry under there) that are pretty new and would be cheaper than buying new tires.
Thanks! Any other advice welcome.

the 2017 back spacing is 40mm. on the 18x8 rims... the 2006 aluminum 17x7.5 had the same offset. however the steel ones for the 06 were only 38mm in the 17 & 18" size.

the offset is where people frequently make the mistake of forgetting to check when wanting to swap rims.. yes you can have the same bolt patterns on 2 different rims but the offsets can be different and cause problems.. friend of mine bought some for his car thinking theyd fit because the bolt patterns were the same... but when he went to put them on the rim wouldnt fit because of the backspacing was off..

Reason the steelies are 2mm shallower/closer to centerline of the rim is that the rims inner mounting surface is thinner than the aluminum's inner surface due to the difference in structural strength of the material. the shallower dept on the steelies keeps the tires in the same spot under the wheel wells.

youll be good. where people tend to run into issues is when its major difference... or going from a 0/negative offset (where the bolt circle is right at or inside the center line of the rim) to a positive offset ( where the bolt circle is on the outside of the center line of the rim.)
