Dodge 2500 wheels on my E-350. Do I need spacers and what size?

I'm putting some Dodge wheels on my '94 E-350 budget build van. Just looking at the rims, it would appear the Dodge offset will require some spacers. I'm sure I can't be the first to do this, maybe someone who has done this can tell me what size spacers would be appropriate.

I'm replacing the stock 16'' with Dodge 17" x 8" rims. I have standard doors on the side (not a slider) so door clearance is not an issue.

Thanks.

You might want to check to make sure they will clear the axle, traditionally Ford wheels used a larger center bore than GM & Dodge.

Depending on the rim, It can me opened up some. I'd be more worried about the tire size fitting.

Thanks for the help, but it ends up being moot. The wheels I have look identical, but when given a closer look, one is actually different and won't work.

I guess I'll keep looking!
