I have tried to dig around for weeks now trying to find an exact answer, but I cannot find a definite answer. I have a 1998 Ram 1500 2WD and as many of you probably know on here, that the hub on these trucks stick out rather far, I am trying to find new wheels (currently running American Racing wheels now as picture shows) but the ugly front hub and dust cap stick out like a sore thumb and when I get new wheels, with my OCD, I would like it to be flush and have the center caps fit... any recommendations? Wheel spacers? I'm not really going for an offroad look for this truck (more of looking for a street look) so I'd rather not get huge wheels spacers and have them stick out like crazy past my fender. I just need some advice. Thanks - Ryan

 

Get wheels that have a cover for the hub. New rims should come with them.

 

I just ordered 1.5" Bora spacers to hopefully help with this. Not sure how soon they will arrive (maybe 4 weeks), but I will try to post an update when they do.

 

One solution is to convert to 2000-2001 suspension and steering

 

Would love to hear back, thank you.

 

1.5" Bora spacers worked. I didn't take a picture after I put them on, but will next time I pull the tires off. The cover the majority of the hub, but leave the dust cap uncovered. The 4th gen wheels that I picked up work with them. The tires on the other hand are probably a little large (275/60/20) and are rubbing a little. Hope that helps.
