Hey yall,
Thanks again to everyone who contributes. I get a lot of help from the forum. So I have a 96 v10 long bed and want to put duallys on the back. I'm wondering how thick the spacers should be. I'm thinking 2" but was curious if anyone has done it and how that worked. I'm planning on using steel not aluminum just to nip that convo in the butt.
Thanks!

 

May wanna check the local laws about how far your tires can stick out of the fender wells. With spacers, and duallys, they are gonna be out there a ways..... Cops tend to take dim view of that.

May have to measure your wheels, to see how much of a spacer you will need to keep the tires away from the suspension.

 

O yea I have a bed with the correct fender flares ready to go. And yea I could go outside and measure it but its warm and dry inside

 

Also, another quick question. I see that people talk about spacers or adapters for the front wheels? Why would someone need that for going between a SW or dually swap? Is it about the tires lining up a certain way?

 

Now there is a sentiment I understand.

Folks use spacers on the front as well, as the duallies have something akin to that from the factory. That way, all six wheels can be the same offset. If your wheels are all the same, spacers won't be necessary. (in front)

 

OK so this is kind of troubling from Arrowcraft. Have other folks ran into this?
"However, there is a catch to the older Dodges. Due to the way Dodge makes the rear axle hub we could not use the Dodge dually rims and get everything centered correctly. So to solve the fitment issues we use dual wheels meant for a 1985-1998 Ford dually. The wheels are the same size and same bolt pattern as Dodge wheels, but the center hole is larger and that solved all the fitment problems so we can make sure that everything is properly hub centered along the hub keeping it tight and secure."

Its a bummer because I already have wheels and rims from a buddy but I'm pretty sure they are all dodge.

 

OK so bringing this thread back from the dead.......
I eventually bought some adapters from wheeladapter.com and after them sitting around for months finally got around to trying to up them on. But my dodge wheels are still hitting the drum. Has anyone done this successfully with dodge wheels?
