hi fellas

havent been on in a while too busy sanding body filler on the truck lol. but im looking to get a set of eagle alloys from southwest wheel. they want 500 and said 54 to ship freight from texas to connecticut. which seems like a fine deal to me. just wondering if the bolt pattern and thread size on our 1st gens is the same as second gens 8-6.5 and 9/16x18 for the threads. thats what they stock
also what would you guys prefer 16x8 or 17x8 wheels. im partial to the 16's

thanks for all input

Bolt pattern is the same but your studs are 1/2 inch. It will work but you'll probably need different lug nuts than the stockers. Are you gonna stay stockish tire size? If so I'd say 16's. Ive notice alot of the bigger tires in a 16 are not E load range. Good luck and sounds like a pretty good deal.

thanks for the reply. im not sure what stock size is but im thinking 265's. im going for this look: https://www.dieseltruckresource.com/...ghlight=wheels

I would say stick with 16's since the tires are a little cheaper and that should look good. We need some pics after the install!!
