Re: 17 inch split rim replacment
As far as I know. If they are lug centered it doesn't matter much what center hole size. They may be too wide on those dodges to suit a skinny 7.50 x 17. Your current rims will be the lethal 'widowmakers'. No real shop will touch them or have them on the premesis. Many multi-piece wheels are still serviceable and would work fine. The '47-'54 chev and gmc one tonners used a good 17" wheel. Some were two piece and later a 3 piece. I have changed plenty of both and they are of a good design. Stu (truckdog on the barn) is the true truck wheel guru and let's hope he chimes in. He knows all the part numbers by memory and can tell you if there is a set of this or that in Utah, New York or Texas. In the meantime, research these options.
