I need a set of tires for my 01 2500. 265 75 16's are factory size.
I ran into a near new full set with rims off a 2010 (2500) But they are 17's.
will they fit? Referring to the bolt pattern

 

Yes they should, they went to the 17in rim to fit the brakes, you cant go back but you can go forward.

 

Yes, they will fit. I put factory 17's on my 2002. If they come with lug nuts, you will probably have to use your old ones, as they changed to metric somewhere along the line.

 

i'm buying these second hand. this set was OEM with <3000 miles (so he states).

meeting up early next week. we'll see.

i wish i ran into a set of rubber only. I do favor the aluminum 16" wheels. I think they are sharper looking than the steel 17"s.

thanks all for the responses.

 

I've run the 4th gen rims on my 02. They actually look pretty sweet.

The stock 4th gen tires tires aren't that great in snow or ice. They work great on dry pavement. I installed good year duratrac's 285/70/17in tires on the 4th gen rims, and installed 3rd gen disk brakes. You can even install 4th gen brakes, just isn't a cheap upgrade.

I run 295/65/18in fuel hostage duratracs on my 2010 with no lift on the 4th gen, the tires rub on hard turns.
