Anybody know if 03' wheels will fit an 06'? I picked up a pair for $100.00 and was going to get them powder coated and put them on my 06'. Thanks for any info.

Should do. You can check things like this by using one of the on-line parts websites, like this one. Cast wheels for both years have the same part number.

Thanks. I was told that they would fit if I installed the bearings,races, and spacers for an 06 but wanted to make sure before dumping cash into them. Thanks for the link. it will come in real handy.

Damn, you scored. I'm on the hunt now for a set and am coming up dry. And you are right, change the internals and the wheels will work fine.

You need to change the rear wheel bearings to 3/4" as rear on an 06 came with 1" bearings. The fronts are both 3/4 so that should fit fine.

Good point, Hogpro
This also means you'll likely have to bore out the hub to fit a 1" I.D. inner spacer.
