Here's a couple shots of mine. The wheels are from a Big Horn '08. Notice that the 3rd gen wheels have more backspacing than 2nd gens.

hi
the 3 rd gen backspacing should reduce the load on the wheel bearing giving longer life to them due to the faverable ofset !

cant weight till i can install mine but the old michilan tires seem to never get woren out as my truck does not seem to wear the front tires very fast ?

but i guess that is a good thing !

If you get the steel wheels you cant use the rear hub caps though. The steel wheels are thinner and the full float hub on the rear end sticks out to far.
