Default H2 Rims

Tried to search but did not come up with much... I know that H2s and my 2500 share the same bolt pattern...

What are the chances of stock H2 wheels fitting on my Ram?

What is the hub diameter on the H2? What about the backspacing? How wide is the H2 rim? Is it a 20"?

No clue on hub diameter. I believe the offset is 18MM. It is 17" rims Maybe 10" wide IIRC

What is the year of the H2 that the rims came off of?

You said you know for sure the bolt pattern is the same?
Never mind about the year...

If you can verify the hub diameter as the same as your 2500 or larger, then you can get hub-centric rings custom made for those wheels. If it's the same, then you'll be fine.

As for the backspacing, check what your 2500 is, and if it's close to the same, you should be fine.

As for the width, they are 8.5" wide. Also, should be okay.

Your biggest problem is most likely going to be the hub. If it's larger, custom rings are gonna cost a pretty penny. I would just forget about it, and find some aftermarket rims. Unless you have your heart set on those.

Same bolt pattern. Only thing I am curious about is the center bore from the hubs?

Yes they will fit. You need to machine the center out to 4.774" to fit over your hubs. Backspacing is 5.5" and will stick out a tad more than the stock wheels. Not bad at all. They are 17x8.5 wheel.
