I NEVER KNEW THIS..IS IT TRUE...85 DODGE RAM WHEEL QUESTION?

[GOTWING]

Something I never knew, I was thinking of buying an old 85 Dodge Ram from a buddy of mine with a six cyl. Reg. cab long bed. I told him if I get it I have a set of groovy old aluminum slots with white letter radials I would put on it, he said dude if they are the ones from your 73 Charger they won't fit. I was like yeah right why not?? He said they just won't I asked well what about police car wheels? nope? Is he correct? It won't break the deal but it would be a plus to put my slots on it.

yes dodge truck is 5 on 5 1/2  bolt pattern  


    your wheels should be  5 on 4 1/2

Thought the 2WD bolt pattern is the same as a car, 4WD were bigger pattern.  Had cop wheels on a '80 D150 I had long ago.

84 and earlier  yes  ,    but 85 up all went to the bigger bolt pattern  

   or atleast according  to hollander interchange .

AHHHHH...cant argue with Hollander!
Makes sense, thanks for setting me straight.
