will 16" wheels work with spidertrax?

[970mtnrunner]

I have a 03 limited 4x4 v8 with spidertrax wheel spacers. I am looking for a second set of wheels for snow tires. Will 16" wheels work with the spacers? There seems to be alot more 16" used stock wheels available than the 17's.
Thanks !

If the bolt pattern is the same, they will work. The bigger question is whether or not you have the larger rotors on your Limited... I think they were optional on the Limits. If so, you'll definitley need to check the clearance of the wheel versus the caliper, but I don't think that the Spidertrax will push the wheels out far enough to clear. If you have the standard rotors, you'll be fine.

Edit: I guess I was slow and wrong. Sent you a PM though.

They won't. Check the markings on the caliper 13WH = big = no 16s. 13WG = small = 16's. I have 13WG and run 16s

Are you saying that 16's won't work on his Limited because all Limiteds came with the 13WH rotors? I thought that they were standard on Sport Editions and optional on Limiteds... that's why I told him that it would depend on which size rotors he had.

No, sorry, should have clarified, I was agreeing with you in that the spidertrax wont push the wheel out far enough to clear the caliper.

Ah... got it! That makes sense. It would probably take a pretty extreme offset to clear calipers using too small of a wheel! ;-)

A timely post from the OP since he wanted 17's but asked since 16's are easier to find. I happened to have 5 17's that I just replaced which he bought.

Thanks again CXS
Timing is everything :thumb3:

So, if I have 13WH calipers but want to install these wheels,


what do I need to change?

thanks - Nate

Calipers and rotors....basically all new brakes.

That's what I was afraid of... I hate how stuff snowballs with this damn truck! haha

so can I get away with 17" wheels and not have to change any brake components then?

Yeah

nice. Gonna go with a set of the OEM Trail Edition wheels then... ainkiller:

My biggest pet peeve with TRD, besides making all those nice wheels in 16" is that they won't make them any larger than 7.5"!
