Hey Thanks guys! I don't know much about duallies so I dunno if the rims will fit. You will probably have to do like I did, tear a set off of another truck to find out. lol

I hate to dig up an old post, but I was just wondering if anyone has put 3rd gen wheels on a two wheel drive and were there any clearance issues? How much further in do they sit? I'm going to pick some up Wednesday and I'm trying to figure out if I need any kind of spacer or not. Thanks.

How much? Will those 1/2" spacers work or do you have to use those high dollar wheel adapters?

X2 on the spacers, i know it's not what you want to hear but the wheels on my truck without the spacers looks hidious, it will work but looks like they don't belong on there.

I thought about that. Take the dog dishes and trim rings off and paint the wheels some sort of light gray or silver. I just can't see sinking over $250 into the adapters. Plus the $250 I'm going to spend on the wheels. I know they look great and they're Dodge, but I could get similar looking aftermarket wheels for less. Thanks for the input, guys.

I highly doubt you could get a similar aftermarket forged aluminum wheel for less than you'll pay for a set of 3rdgens.

I think he's talkin about 3rd gen wheels and adapters will cost more than some aftermarket wheels that will work without adapters.

I know no one has posted for awhile but just tried to put the alum ones on my d-250 and the hit the upper ball joint bad. min 1in spacer i think 2in would be best.

2003-2009 IIRC. I think the 4th generation rims are the same size, but don't quote me.
