I know this may be a stupid question, but I have to ask anyways. Better to be thought a fool for a moment than a remain one for a lifetime.
Is a 5th gen front wheel a direct swap with a 6th gen that has ABS?

Yes.
The ABS wheel, if it comes with discs, will have a tone ring for the ABS pickup. That is all.
Other than that, straight swap. You can remove the tone ring since you don't need it.
That is awesome news! Looking at a 6th gen and I really want to keep my powder coated rims from my 5th. I really didn't want to go back to black.
Veefer800CanuckSounds like he is going the other way.Other than that, straight swap. You can remove the tone ring since you don't need it.
Yes, he could use his fifth gen wheels on the 6th gen, but would need the 6th gen rotors with the tone ring.
Oh right, misread that.
What he said.
yeah, either way, thanks guys.
And now we know the genesis of this query. :wink:
