Everyone says you have to do some light clearancing to fit them. Many have done it. Good luck.

I have 17" wheels from a 2006 Ram on my 01.

All I had to do was buy about 80 bucks worth of new lugs because the old ones didn't fit the hubcaps

Yea the 98 and 01 have different front end wheel hub and spindles much like the 02 and up. Im having clearance issues with the front the center wont clear the wheel hub assembly. Ive milled out the center a little bit but it looks ugly with the hub sticking out. And i dont want 20" for i want to put drag radials in the back
