Wheels for Spyntec Hub Conversion

[WilliamThompson]

Is there a stock 18in wheel with the 4.25 hub bore for this conversion. If not, can anyone recommend an after market wheel that comes close to stock back spacing specs. Don't want the truck to look like a rock crawler. And prefer not to bore my stock hubs oversize. Thanks for the help. 2014 Ram 2500.

You might want to look into hub kits from RAM Man they use the front hub from the Ford Super Duty. While not serviceable/ re buildable I think they will fit over our stock Ram wheels with out having to bore out the wheel. No I haven't actually tried it yet but they are much smaller than the Spyntec hubs and look like they will work. I'm very tempted to switch over to them but I have already bored my wheels to fit the Spyntec hubs.

Thanks---- Checked out RAMMAN website and will call them Monday.

Hi-- Just an update. Purchased the RAMMAN hubs for my 2014 Ram 2500. Installation was pretty straight forward and was able to retain my stock aluminum wheels. The only discomfort is pulling the rotors every 20,000 miles to grease the hubs through the speed sensor hole. Otherwise very happy with the hubs.

What is the benefit of the Ford Hubs over the RAM Hubs?

The ability to Un lock the hubs for better fuel econ and less wear on the drive system. It's not so much an issue with the newer 2014 trucks that have central axle disconnect. But on the older trucks it does help. Just saving the wear on the transfercase alone was what sold me.

I got zero mileage benefit from my Dynatrac hubs. I wouldn't count on that .
Shutting down all that mass rotating for no reason and the serviceability is why I went with them. 4-lo helps too.

I think you meant 2-low. That's the main reason I want to do it, very handy off road.

But has Williams Truck not a CAD?

I've Dynatrac Hubs already for the Reason of 2-Lo.
