New OEM Rims

[crabman]

What years of the new oem dodge trucks rims would bolt up to my 1998 4x4 without any problems?

Up to and including model year 2018. In 2003 Dodge changed to 14mm Lug Studs but are close enough to 9/16" to work fine (wheel lug holes are a tiny bit different), so you will need to reuse you lug nuts or get a new set in 9/16". Need to watch offset/backspace on some styles in the later years. They were 8x6.5 or 8x165.1 in metric (both the same) through 2018.

Anything thru the current, 2022, wheels will work. 2023’s will likely be unchanged too.

In 2013 (3500) and 2014 (2500) the backspacing changed, but it’s still the same today.

@Hoopster I thought the lug nut change happened in 2010. The lug nuts between my 05 and 18/22 are different.

Weren't the 2nd Gen alloys for the rear discs too small to clear the drums on the older trucks?

With modification, (grinder) the 2nd gen alloys would fit the drum brake trucks. They weren't great rims though and many experienced cracks on them.

I would love to buy another set of NOS rims for my pickup as spares! I don't like any other rim any better.

331K on my 2001.5 OEM aluminum rims and no issues. I have a spare set in the garage just in case.

Wish I could find a reasonable priced set of gen2 rims. I am having trouble even finding hubcaps for the steel wheels

I have ran the "chrome clad" steels off my 2019 on several different second gens with out issues with second gen lugnuts

But to run the 5th gen hub caps you have to run a spacer on the rear due to size of the rear hub.

A lot depends on where you are, how hard you look, and how lucky you are.

Early this year, I found a replacement tan dashboard assembly (from a 1994) inside a blue 1996 at a U pull it wrecking yard. The truck also had a full set of straightened and rechromed OEM wheels stamp dated 1995. I had to buy the crummy tires also, but it was still worth it. Now I have three full sets.
