    Can always get 04 and older bridges, rotors, calipers. Did it on my 05 so i could run 16's. 35's were cheaper that way.

    So should I not have been able to fit these 16's? I've got no rub issues on the calipers. Only thing I've noticed is that the hub openings are a little bit larger than the stock rims. I'm just going to make sure the lugs are torqed every hundred miles or so.

    Yeah, 16s aren't supposed to fit on disk brakes.

    I guess I just got lucky with the rims I picked up. I have zero contact between the rim and caliper.

    I'm sure you could. Just get the right tire size.

    I would like the part number for those rims if they clear. 17's are supposed to be the minimum north of 05.

    I would also be interested. There may be a time when I'd like to run in 2wd. I have rear disks and if they clear, I'm down for a set.
