I'm looking to get some new shoes on my 81 Dodge van, its 5 lug which makes life better, but I want to know what wheel specs for 15X8 wheels when i go to order, so I don't mess it up. Thanks in advance!

Welcome K! This will getcha closer. (If it's a 1988??) Thanks 91! Note the Dodge 5 on 5.5 has a huge center of 41/4 inches for a reason. shocked

This is the wheel I choose for my Dodge B Van. In 7 inch. Stock suspension . Running P 235/15 Goodyear Wrangler radials, a 7 inch rim suited my needs. The Caps look nice, but check for interference with the wheel locks. Grrrr.

Those are unilug. They will work but if you’re going to be buying new, get the correct size made for you van.

That's how cragar does those wheels. Any wheel companies you recommend?

These better? I am thinking chrome with side pipes, and thinking about mirrors... maybe just use the white ones on it, and keep the bumpers white.

Those are always a classic wheel and the right size.

Personally if you’re gonna put bright wheels and exhaust, chrome bumpers and mirrors would really bring it together.

That was what I was thinking.

I am running cragar s/s wheels on my 1985 dodge b150 it does have a big hub and the cragar wheels are 5x5.5 not uni lug. I run a 1/4 " spacer front and rear and works great.

I decided on rocket fuel wheels 15x8... I think they'll look good.

They are on sale at Speedway Motors.
