wheels

How would one go about putting the wheels from a 94+ Ram on first gen? Can the wheels from a 1500 go on to a w250 with no problems? Or would there be not enough strength in the wheels? I've seen them put on older rams and thought that they looked pretty nice.

Got em...

The only problem is getting center caps to fit. The rims are a snug fit on the spindles/axles and you can't get a cap on. The OEM caps clip onto the special lug nuts for larger studs than what are on the 1st gens. I have long chrome nuts with a derby style cap on the outside for now. Still trying to figure something elso out.



J-eh

The wheels from a 94 and up 1500 will NOT fit on a W250. The 1500 is a 5 bolt pattern, the W250 is an 8 bolt pattern. What you need is a set of wheels from a 94 or newer 2500. Also, the lug nuts are different. The W250 uses a smaller diameter thread on the wheel stud, so you will have to use the lug nuts for the W250. The center caps snap on to the lug nuts, which are different. Also, there is no provision on the center caps of the newer wheels for lockouts. I have seen these wheels on the older trucks, however, no center caps were used. If you are needing a set of wheels I have some off a 98 2500 w/ Michelin tires. Only about 8,000 miles on them, and I would sell them.

Thank you for the information, guys. I really appreciate it. 4020Deere, I don't think I could afford them right now, but when I finally get some paychecks cached up, I will seriously look into them. Thank you for offering though!
