I have a 2000, it has 2003/04 wheels on it.

I want a different look, either powder coat my current wheels white to match the body color or swap wheels.

Q: Will i have any fitment, brake caliper clearance issues with a 15" wheel?

Q: What back spacing do i need to run?

15's will not fit with out some serious grinding of the calipers.....

is fitment similar to what the '03 up cobra guys deal with? How about a 16" Weld wheel in the front?

16's fit fine, but I dont think a 15 will fit the rear either

Other than mounting DR's/slicks why would you want a 15/16" wheel on these trucks? IMO an 18" is too small...

15-16" are cheap tires in comparison, and 1,000s of tires to choose from. I've never been a fan of the DUB movement. Stock looks great, I'm just wanting something different.

Wow thats awesome, good luck with qualifying!

I was wondering because I just bought some 03' 04' rims today and was thinking about painting them white and having them as a spare set.

Painting will work for a little whil, it just wont hold up to the abuse the roads puts on wheels

Powdercoating is a lot more durable, and will come out looking great!!
