Default Gen 1 Wheels Fit on a Gen 2 ?

I did a search could not find what I was looking for so here is my Question.

I have a New Set of winter tires mounted on the '89 Rims. I know the bolt pattern is the same but not sure about the center hole spacing.


Will the Factory Steel Wheels off my 1989 RamCharger fit my 1999 1500 Gen 2?

My father in law has an '88 RamCharger 4x4, while it does have different wheels then stock the center hole is bigger on the RamCharger so, I'm thinking they will fit, but you'll have the difference with the center hole.

Yes the stock wheels off my '89 RamCharger fit fine.

Tires are p235/75-15 XL's 29.5" tall my stock tires are 265/75-16 31.5" tall SO my speedo is way off. I knew it would be going into this.

When my speedometer reads 50 Im actually doing 44-45.

The tires are Firestone Winterforce with less than 3000 miles on them.
Tried to sell or trade them, but well Not going to give them away.

You can correct that by simply changing the driven gear for the output speed sensor in the trans. Runs about 30 bucks.
