You would have to make sure the bearings in the 08 wheel are changed.

any bearing shop will have bushings to adapter smaller diameter axles to larger bearing holes if that's the case here.

You'll need new bearings in those wheels. Meaning smaller ID.

I put SG wheels from an 07 SG on my 02 with no problems. But I think in 08 they changed the axle sizes ( the rear one for sure ).

I put 08 wheels on my 07, all you need is a new set of bearings just like everyone here says.

don't forget that the 08 also was the first year to use the isolated drive system. I.D.S. that may also make a difference. your 05 didn't have the i.d.s.
