Will 2004 17" 7-lug fit 2001 16" 7-lug?

First post... I've seen some 2004-07 17x7.5 7-lug online for a good price. Does anyone know if these will fit without problems? I want to keep the tire size about the same so I could go with 245/70/17 instead of 245/75/16. Thanks for your help.

No problem man. Surprisingly, just did a Google search and it brought me right back to this site.

Nope it won't work

The offset on the oem is -15mm, offset on the 2004-2010 wheel is 44mm. I tried fitting the wheel on the hub with no tire. There is about 1/4" clearance between the wheel and the upper arm, less than an inch between the edge of the whell and the ball joint. So, although the rim fits over the hub and brake, it doesn't provide enough clearance for the tire.
