3/4 ton? Wheels?

[Best truck design]

Did I read some where, that Dodge 8 bolt 3/4 ton/1 ton Wheels are interchangeable with Chevy GMC 8 bolts? Thus the bolt patterns are the same?

Those look like the rims I got on with a set of 3/4 ton chevy axles. Didn’t look like a chevy rim and I thought it looked like a dodge rim personally. If so the lug pattern is the same, i think there may be a difference in the center bore diameter.

Yes, most of them are the standard 8x6.5" pattern. I thought about running these aluminum ones for a while. But they were 17"x8"

Take off the Ram centercap and it is a pretty decent looking wheel.

That particular wheel does not fit. It's the metric bolt pattern that started in '10 or so.

I've always like those ones, they are a good looking wheel. I think @fmxr47 has them. Almost positive.

Yes I am running these although without wheel spacers the front tie rods ends ever so slightly rub the wheels. I’m going to run 2” spacers most likely and that should get them back to a stock looking stance.

AFAIK, the older 8 bolt wheels were lug centric, and since the bolt pattern is the same you can switch 8 lug wheels between brands of trucks. However, sometime in the 2000+ timeframe a few manufacturers switched to using hub-centric wheels (I think Ford is one example), where the wheel is centered by the hole in the middle. You uusually can't swap if its a hub centric wheel.

I'm not sure if GM is using hub-centric wheels on its newer trucks. However, I've seen Hummer H2 wheels on a squarebody, so it seems that they may fit.

Ford went to a metric bolt pattern with the introduction of the '99 Super Duty, 8 on 170 mm. Iirc, the Vans stuck with the old standard bolt pattern. GM and Dodge both went to a different (8 on 180mm I think) metric bolt pattern somewhere around '10-'11.

Hub-centric is kind of irrelevant when the bolt patterns are different too.

GM did not make the switch to 180mm until 2011. My 2016 Ram 2500 had 8 on 6.5". I ran those same 5 spoke wheels as I didn't like the chrome 18 inchers it came with.

Sorry, I had a typo with the year range.

So wait, has Dodge not switched yet? I could have swore they went to the same pattern as Chevy.

At least not up to the 2016 model year. Those 5 spoke wheels are for Ram model years 2003-09 and bolted up to mine no issues.

Ford made the switch much earlier than GM or Dodge. And how do I know this? I stupidly bought a set of these from a guy on CL and didn't measure the bolt pattern. (I like that style because they look like the 8 lug version of these that GM should have made for squares!) Dude had a 1994 F250 in the driveway that he said they fit - nope. I think he was more clueless than me, but now I know to measure at least. And I was able to sell them and get all my dinero back.

I'm still keeping my eye open for that Ford style in 8x6.5 pattern. I think they did make them, but they switched to metric pretty early in the run so the SAE pattern ones are a lot less common. Still not sure about Ford wheels on my Chevy, though. Set I bought had some really nice center caps but they were unusable with the oval logo - I was going to just leave them off.
