: Alcoa Classics (88-00) on a 2004 GMC Dually - Can and should it be done?

I was wondering if anyone had any information about putting a set of Alcoa Classics (they specify 1988-2000) on a 2004 GMC Sierra Dually?

I have heard that they fit a little tight but can be slightly machined out to work. Does anybody have any information on this?

If they are placed on the 2004 truck, is there any potential danger?

The new Alcoas are called Hotshots, these were produced after 2000.

Thanks!!

From what I understand, the answer is no. The hub bore is not the same from my source at Discount Tire. :(

Do you know if there is anything else different, because they do slide on the 2004 truck. The hub bore is a little tight, but they will go on.

The New Duallys Take Hub Piloted Wheels,meaning The Wheels Ride On The Axle Hub.older Than 2001 The Wheels Are Supported By The Lugnuts And Hold The Wheel.the New Trucks The Lugs And Studs Only Hold The Wheel To The Hub.will It Wrok Only If The Center Of The Wheel Is Perfectly Round And Of The Same Size As The Hub
