With spacers they will. Look through the 1st gen pics thread, about 3/4 of the way through. Theres a clean 1st gen 4wd running 3rd gen alloys with 1/4" spacers or so to clear the tie rod.

Question What about Duallys?

Is there a way to stuff the 3rd Gen. dually wheels under a D350? I'm thinking the fronts would have rubbing issues, but I have no clue for sure.

I was thinking about putting 2nd Gen wheels on my 4x4 '92. Think it will work?

Early 2nd gen wheels will work. However, when they changed to disc brakes and the alloy wheels, those wont work without spacers as well.

Those wheels DO look good, nice job! Sorta off-topic, but what are/where did you get those screens on the 4 grill sections? They are as well!

Aluminum gutter screen, avalible at any hardware store. I know, so simple its scary huh?! Cut to fit and I just used thin zipties to attach to the grill. Thanks for the compliment A friend of mine calls it my "stealth" grill! haha

I've heard the chrome faced wheels from the 3rd will fit on these trucks without any mods, but not the alloys with out spacers.

i have a set of 3rd gen that i tried to put on my 1st gen and the back fits but not the front...measured out the backspacing on each style rim and determined that i need a 1/2" spacer...i konw that some have said that a 1/4" space will work...but i dont see that happening...unless theirs is diff. i dont have stock wells.

if anyone wants a set of 3rd gen wheels b4 i put em on, i have a set w/ 33x12.50x17...tires are about 50%...they are pro comp

Wow! That really is almost scary!! Too simple, for sure ...I was about to order a set of Lund stainless steel clip-ons(and granted, they are stainless, but...), cost like $80 + shipping!! Thanks for the hrdware store tip, think I'll set about doing likewise!
