Yes, the ‘97 rim will work. The lugs may be different though. Double check them.
Yes, it will work.
I run one 97 rim and 3 95 rims on my truck. However, I have the CORRECT lug nuts for EACH rim and they are torqued to different specs.
93 and 94 wheels use the conical style lug nuts where as the new models us a nut that has a flat face.

So I need the 97 lugs as well, correct?
Yes.
The wheels are the same for 91-92 and 93-97, correct? Only the lug nut is different starting in 95-97. Do I have that right?
No.
91-92 have 15" rims with acorn nuts.
93-mid 96 have 16" stock (different look and back set than above) wheels with acorn nuts. Torque to 104 LB-FT
Late 96-97 have 16" stock (Exact same look as 93-96) wheels with shank-style lug nuts. Torque to 78 LB-FT
Wits' End has a very nice diagram showing the proper lug nuts and torques for the years and wheels.
Mine came with two of each. So long as you use the correct nuts and torque, you’re good. I believe it is as follows:
Alloy w/ shank style (flat washer) - 76
Alloy w/ conical inserts - 109
All steelies - 109
I usually just go 80 and 110 accordingly.
