Default Power Wagon Wheels

Hello...

I have searched and searched and searched. I have a set of 2005 Power Wagon wheels laying around,
Will these wheels fit on my 2000 Ram 2500 Diesel 2WD (without issues)? I have not got any complete answers.

Thanks....

MT

According to what I find, they are the correct bolt pattern, however, they are also 6" backspacing...... which is going to stuff the wheels in pretty tight. If you have a 4x4, that is going to seriously compromise your turn radius...... tires will rub on the control arms for the front axle.

Backspacing is 4.5 inch, I do believe, no clue what offset is. (but, that's not nearly as critical as backspacing.)

Actually these wheels fit fine, I will have to go to a 265/70-17 tire and put a leveling kit on front end.
I just put one on and it sits fine... I will check the front end..

See how far you can turn your wheels before the tires hit something. Then, take the wheel off, and see how much further you can turn the wheel.......
