Rotor conversion
Are there any rotor conversions out there that would allow a 97-03 accept an 04-09 wheel? I'd like to move from 16 inch wheels to 18 and am finding a ton of cheap stock 04-09 wheel/tire combos (many still with 80% tread) out there where people have replaced with aftermarket.

Well, duh, I'm aware that the rotor isn't the only thing that would changed! But, the rotor/hub assembly is one of the main components in a conversion kit. I know there are kits for other vehicles. I just didn't know if there are any for this model. I'm not a fan of wheel spacers at all. They're not safe.

Nothing immediately available, except spacers that goes from the 5x135 to 6x135. Could you piece one together? Probably. But it will cost much more than just buying a set of nice 5x135 wheels.
If your goal is saving money on buying stock 04+ wheels, it won't save you anything when you factor in having to buy the items to make it fit (don't forget the lug nuts), the cost of the newly used rim/tires, and replacing those tires when they wear out same sized tires for a 16" rim is cheaper than 18".
If you go back 6-12 years, same was happening with the 97-03 F150 wheels. People were getting rid of them in favor of aftermarket rims and tires.
