I agree with this guy ^^^ no rubbing anywhere. Definitely the best mod on my truck. My suspension is stock.

Was it the "Intercepter" type wheels with the Michelin tires on them you found? If so, yes, they will fit the 2nd Gen just fine. The tire guys said they were a little tight going over the hub but, they have the same center whole as the ones that came off.

17in wheels will work fine. I have them on my truck.

You will have to buy bigger lug nuts because the stock ones are too small to hold the hub cap
