Default 5th gen wheels on 2nd gen?

So I see a lot of 4th Gen on 2nd Gen but not a lot of 5th Gen questions/answers. Will 5th gen wheels fit on a 2000 Ram 2500? They are 8 lug with 245/70/17 from a 2019 (originally the person said off a 2014 and when I asked I got the 'Im selling for my boss'). I know all the rims are the same 8 x 165.1 but can anyone weigh in on the lug nut or spacer issues?

They fit just fine, will still need a test drive to make sure 100% but test fit went great. Not making the whole package presentable but helping.

I wanted the limited wheels but they are only in 20s (not 17s) but they are pricey! Looks good!!!

Great news! No issues with the lug nuts? Thanks for sharing the photos and the information. Really appreciate it.
