2nd Gen Non-Engine/Transmission 95 2500 factory wheel options

[DavidNH]

Hello,



Does anyone know where I can find good pictures on the internet of what factory wheels were offered on 2500 Rams from 95- present. I just picked up a 95 w/ ridiculous looking aftermarket wheels on it and want to bring it back to a 'dignified' appearance. What was offered in 95 is OK, I am leaning toward the late 90s for a slighly updated look and understand that 2000 and up 2500 8 lug wheels will not fit the 2000 and down 3/4 ton trucks.



I'm new here and to Cummins diesels and Dodges but have been driving diesels exclusively for the last 4 years now. I looked on Ebay- a surprisingly good source of technical photography, but I need interchange info as well.



Regards,

Dave in NH

The options in '95 were steel, chrome or painted.

I put the 8" wide 2001 factory alloys on my '98 a year ago. All I had to do was have the outer lip of the rear brake drums turned down a little so the wheels would slide over. Some people have to do a little grinding up front on the steering arms as my cousin had to do on his '97 but that's minor. I also had to bend the brake hose brackets slightly so the tire wouldn't rub the hose at full lock.
