dodge wheels
Has anyone else seen or used the stock dodge 20" wheels on our trucks. Besides the steelies. Just curious as to what else is available as an upgrade in size without trying to be flashy. I like the 20" wheel look with some meat on them.

For the 20's to fit on my truck (steel spares) I had to have the front hub OD turned down to 2.9" to fit inside the center bore of the wheels (had already been powdercoated when I found this out). This is for front drum brakes. The wheel studs are also 9/16" on the dodges where as our trucks are 1/2", still a 60* conical nut though. Im going to be using stock 1/2" lug nuts.

Machining the wheels may not be an option for steel. I tried to have this done and couldn't find a machine shop that would take the job. I thought about cutting out the center with a plasma then cleaning it all up with a die grinder. Many people advised against this.
Turning down the hub wasn't something that I had even considered. I ended up running a stock 15" wheel. I'll have to revisit the Dodge wheel idea later. Does anything need to be done to the rear?

2" spacer for each side is what I have heard. With my flareside bed I will only know when I go to install them as the fender lip to bed clearance is not as wide as a fleetside. I have the spacers just in case. I purchased the spacers from.

Yes, but it is now a swb flareside.
Here they are mounted when I found out I had to have the hubs turned down.
Here is the truck awaiting finishing.

The spacer is only for the rear and only because the rear track is 2" narrower on each side than the front track. The rear axle is still the same width as when it was used on trucks with a straight front axle. If you went with a '73 and up axle and had the perches moved in then you would not have to run the spacers.
