  • Wheel swap from 04 to 99?

    Is it possible to swap a set of wheels from a 99 600 to a 04 600? I need to replace some banged up ones and a friend has some that I believe are from a 1999. I know the rear is the same but the part number form the front is slightly different. Is there a fitment issue with the brakes or the bearings or something? Thanks.

    IIRC they changed something on the front wheel i know front calipers and lower legs are different on the 03+ from the 98-02

      And so....

      Does that affect the fitment of the wheel to the brake rotor? And does it in any way affect the fitment of the wheel with this kind of swap?

        There is alot more info about this on the site... Use the google search, but the basics...

        03+ has larger OD front axle
        Wider hubs
        Different spacing for the rotors

        It would not be a straight up swap.

            not to mention, that i believe in 03+ they went with a electronic speedo, as its picked up in the trans opposed to the front rim.....just find one on ebay or in the for sale section here
