Wheel Size/Compatibility?
So I've been trying to figure out the cheapest route to get a couple of rims to mount winter tires on and replace the rusted up spare wheel.
From what i can tell, F Series super duty wheels won't fit.
I just put one of my old Ram 3500 unit bearings in the spare and it seems to fit perfect....
So this leads me to think a newer Dodge/Cheby wheel will work???? Maybe even a 17"?
Any advice or comments would help greatly.

My Dodge was an 06.
I put H2 wheels on it. (The center needed to be opened a bit)
I'd like to just pick up a couple of stock Ford rims but MAN the prices people want for them are crazy!

Have you tried a Pick-n-Pull yard??
The one by me charges $12.95 for a tire and rim, any size, out the door.
They even knock off most of the lug nuts and leave only one on for "easy removal" You just need to bring your own jack. I've seen nearly new tires being rolled out of that place.
Cross checking, you should be looking for van wheels from '07-'10. Size: 16x7; Bolt Pattern Dia: 6.5; 8 Lugs

Made it to the salvage yard.
They basically just look at the computer system to see what they or their other site has.
One rim available to be shipped in @$65....
They don't seem to get the idea of other rims cross matching so that was a no-go.

Your next step would to be to search the Craigslist in your area, you might find someone parting out or upgrading their wheels and hit a deal for some rims.
One of the big problems you have is the bolt pattern/hub that's on the van, it is like a one only fit, as I posted above, your in the '07-'10 era.

Ot really discouraged...other than its the only junk yard within a reasonable distance....
I saw the rims on Rock Auto. That's prolly what I do.
There is a set of Ram 2500 rims local at a decent price but I don't want to go to 17" wheels.
I just need a couple for snow tires next year and to replace the spare that's in rough shape.
