Default 2500 wheels

I see a lot on the 1500 but nothing on the 2500
Will these wheels fit my 99 2500 gas burner
Or do I need to find a different back spacing for 33 to 35 in tires with just a leveling kit
Thx

They should fit the front without issue. In the rear, I suspect you may have a problem with drum clearance due to the offset. I had a similar issue when using this later model factory wheel on my truck (see link below) and turning down the rear rib of the drum slightly solved the problem.

Those wheels should have less backspacing than the stockers. Where did they interfere?

So ostensibly, that should be a 4" backspacing..... Are they at a local shop? Or would you have to order them online?

If you have to order them, I would call and have a chat with 'em, and see what their return policy is... just in case.

Sure, stock rims are kinda narrow though, so, pay attention to tire manufacturers recommendation on rim width.
