I have a 1995 Ram Dually.
I have a chance to pick up a set of Alcoa 16" rims from a 2012 Ram 3500.
From what I can see there is a slight difference in the hub bore. That is not a problem, I can recut the center bore to fit my truck.
I was wondering if anyone knew if the rest of the rim dimensions are the same. I am concerned about clearance on the calipers and rear drums.

I don't know for sure, but several years ago I tried to put a set of 1997 rims on my 1995 and they wouldn't work on the front. I don't recall what the exact clearance issue was.
 
I went and looked at the rims the gentleman was selling. I had been misinformed, they are 17" wheels.
We were able to install one on the front of my truck with no clearance issues. I do not want to change to 17" wheels.
I have found new 16" Alcoa rims for sale online, but no one is able to confirm the fact that they will fit my truck.
Based on what I saw when we installed the 17" wheels it looks like they should. I would like to be a little more sure of the fit before I order a set.
Any help would be appreciated.
