Let me know what ya'll think.

you'll find a quite a few H2 wheels and 315's on 3rd Gen CTD's but i think with these wheels you will have the same problem as the guy and his chevy. Search the boards... bet you would have to remill the center of at least 2 rims to get the rear axle through, i wouldn't want a $500 experiment. those with stock wheels just cut out a larger circle in the H2 stock hub caps for the rear axle assembly to stick through.

theres a full writeup on this for our trucks over at "towrig" with pictures. . the guy is a ck5 member as well and turned me onto this mod... the amount milled off was very small IIRC... he got it done for like 30. 00 or something... less if you know a machinist obviously. .

he has had zero isues...

excellent... i like retaining the dodge center cap.

There's really no need to machine the caps. I just bought some cheap nuts and double nutted the studs. There's enough thread to catch a second nut and they don't need to be torqued down since the cap works as a retainer to keep all the nuts from backing out. I did this and really like the full sized cap on the chrome hummer rims. At least try it on one wheel before cutting your caps. You can use the nuts from another wheel to see if you like the look.



Also, be sure to tell your machinist how big to open. If you just tell him to mill that lip off the inside of the rim, that won't be enough and you will be back to where you started.



My machine shop didn't need to unmount the tires. He just aired them down so he could clamp the rim edge in contact with his milling bench. After milling, they were aired back up. That keeps the tires and rims with a factory balance from GM and saves some more money.

I hate to be the bearer of bad news but to answer your question no they will not fit. They are machined to fit over the H2 hubs which are no where near the size of a HD truck. notice there isnt a center cap on them? There is nothing to really machine out on this rim that would not detract from its look. Just a thought. Oo.
