You would need to measure the center hub openings to make sure. I don't think the newer trucks have as large of an opening as the squares do. Pretty sure it got smaller when they did away with the solid front axles.

Thanks I'll check it out. I don't know if I actually like the look of them anyway. The guy asked how much I would pay for them, I offered him $100 he said yes.

Not a bad deal for a set of brand new wheels regardless. One other issue though is that the lug spacing is different. Pretty sure the older trucks were 8x6.5 whereas the newer trucks (2000+) are 8x170mm. The brand new generation may yet be different still, but I'm not 100% on that one.

No, they will not bolt on and work. As da-rabbi said, different lug pattern. And as CSFJ said, the backspacing/offset is not quite correct for our trucks either. However, both situations work in your favor because you can run adapters for the new lug pattern and achieve a more desirable offset location of the wheel. For $100, buy them! It will probably be another $200 in quality adapters to actually use them.
