I found some 17.5 inch dually rims off of an RV with an 8 x 6.5 8-lug pattern. I am looking at converting my truck to a dually with an adapter so the question is will these rims fit on my truck?

Nope they are really 17.5" heavy duty rims from an RV. I figure they'll fit having the same bolt pattern and being larger than the stock rims, but I want to see if anyone seen them before or know of them.

If the studs are bigger on the RV hubs than the truck studs, no they won't work.

Try one on and see if it fits. Only drawback to the 17.5" is the limited tire sizes, IIRC it's two, 215/75 and 235/75.
