fitting dodge 8 lugs to a chevy #752846 09/29/2019 12:36 PM

Anyone done this before?

I bought a set of dodge 8 lug rims for cheap as they are 16" and my current wheels are 16.5".
It'll mean I don't have to import tyres from abroad (I'm in Ireland).

Now the bolt pattern is the same as I test fitted one to the front of my chevy (1979 G30) but the offset is different. Looks like I may need wheel spacers and possibly longer studs.
Any of you dodge guys know what taper angle is on the lug nuts these wheels take?

Any more info on the wheels may help.
I know so far they are 16" x 8" and were fitted to 2000-2002 Dodge Rams.
Bolt Pattern: 8 x 165.1mm/6.5".
Offset: 44mm.

Cheers guys.

Thread revival.

I had these wheels refurbished and am now looking to put some tires on them.

Any recommendations for van tires for R16 x 6.5J rims on a G30 camper?

Big name brands are best as I will be more likely to be able to get them here in Ireland.
Cheers guys.

Hey Shaggy, Good to hear from you! The 16 x 6.5 alloys wrapped with those BFG's on Scotty's white G30 look aggressive but are pretty quiet. Pretty impressive ride for an off road LT street tire that would be a good choice around here all year. I think they wear well too.

I run the same tire size in a General Grabber 10 ply rated very truck like ribbed commercial street type tyre, very stiff, good in rain, snow. (On both 1 tons)

Good Hunting!
