Wheels question

Will a Bud wheel fit the front end of a 3/4 ton single wheeled rearend?
I was just asking because I'm thinking of putting the Bud wheel on the front end of my truck. I changed everything over in the rear to make it a dually a long time ago, now I was wondering if I could have the same front wheels as all the other duallies got?
Thanks!

If I understand what you are asking, here is the answer to your question: 1 ton dually wheels require that the dually hub be used rather than the SRW style. This allows the mount point of the wheel to be pushed out 3" or so. You can swap a dually 1 ton hub and rotor off another truck on to yours, they are interchangeable.

I found some 3 inch spacers, but I dont wanna spend $190 for something that might not work. Spacers would probably be the easiest route for me at this time. Anyone definately sure that its 3 inch spacer that is needed?
Thanks!
