the brakes are bigger on a 3rd gen, and need at least a 17 to clear

NO!!! dont buy them, they wont fit, the ford switched to a metric pattern and its hub centric wheel, they switched to that pattern with the super duties some where around 97 i think, but anything pre super duty will fit, but chevy 8 lug is the same as dodge
