I thought it was 5 on 5.5, I know my 97 is, but not sure when or if they changed it.

Cool I wondered, I was told somewhere that they changed the bolt pattern on the newer trucks. Thanks for the info

Do you have to modify anything to fit the 3rd Gen OEM 20s on our trucks?

I thought I saw a post here somewhere that said the pattern is the same but that you needed to put in spacer because the offset was different from the gen 2's to gen 3's. I was also thinking of going to the new 20's on mine next year.

I would love to go to the newer wheels, but if you have to use spacers would rather not. If someone can verify this please let use know. Thanks
