Will 2003 H2 rims fit a 2005 dodge 2500QC?

You will have to machine the hole to clear the larger Dodge hubs, and you may have to lift the front (levelling kit) to not rub. But many on here have run them.

Thanks dt. Im not a machinist or a mechanic, Im a carpenter so where would I bring the rims to have this done?....

Do it yourself!!!
For the bigger hole in the hub, just get your router out and don't forget to wear your safety glasses 'cause that aluminum can really fly. Then use what they taught you in apprenticeship school and cut some wood blocks for that clearance problem. (One carpenter to another)

are the h2 wheels hub-centric? sorry to steal your thread, but this question just came to me when the last poster says to diy.

Dodge wheels are supposed to be hub-centric. Most of your aftermarket wheels will not be - they work, but its not "right".

I recommend getting the wheels cut by a machine shop. Tires/wheels are balanced using the ID of the hub - the assumption is made that the hub is the exact center of the wheel - if it is not, your tires will be out of balance!

There are no clearance problems with these wheels, fit is excellent. I'm not sure what you'd be using wooden blocks for. I'm assuming Zedx148 was suggesting that you decrease the backspacing by adding spacers - this will just cause the tire to hit the fender wells (our trucks need lots of backspacing for 35's to not hit the fender wells). I hope no one would ever use wood for this purpose, not to mention that it would put a huge moment arm on the wheel studs, this is not a good idea.

Take your spare off and take it with you to the machine shop and have them measure the ID of the hub. They can then open up the H2 hub's to the same ID as your stock wheels. I think the correct dimension is 4.774, but you better double check me. This is a very simple operation on a CNC mill, it just takes a bit of time ($$$) to set up each wheel.

Thanks Will. I'm really new to all of this and I would rather be safe than sorry. I really appreciate the advice.

BillE-Goat,
Also being in the wood working trade, I can tell you I used a Dewalt 3/4horse router with a 1/2" flush trim bit (bottom bearing). On the backside of the rim there is a slight chamfer that was an 1/8" set back that allowed me to run the bearing along. I just did in a couple of passes as this puts a beating on the bit. After that I used a drum sander to clean up the inside. I used to have a site that had the specs, I believe the hub has to be opened somewhere between .11"-.13".
good luck....

I proball should have been more spesific... I was referring to clearance with the tires... Most people that get the H2 rims get them with the tires.

Tires fit fine on most 4x models. Because these wheels have a large amount of backspacing compared to the majority of wheels on the market, fit will be better than most.

If you have any rubbing, it will be at the back of the wheel wells. A slight lift, such as replacement coils or spacers, will only make matters worse as this is dropping the trailing arms, and at the same time, pulling them back (arms travel in an arc, no just up/down). I've seen several trucks around town running this combo of wheel/tire and none have rubbing issues.
