Is there an off the shelf rim manufacture that makes such an animal and how wide can we go with a rear tire? Cheers Don.

Ok the boys truck is more of a trar.... truck/car that he drives to school and around. There is large stacks in the truck box so the box is just used for little light loads. She is a first gen cummins diesel stick. When I have some time I will pull the rear wheels off and measure up what room there is and what offset is needed. Tires I know are quite easy and M/T will be the tire of choice. Just wondering if there has been anyone on here that may have looked at doing this to an 8 bolt dodge diesel. I would expect having the two rims it would need to be 14"s plus anyways. Cheers Don. 8263496-1994dodge.jpg (164 downloads)

The outside dimension of the tire is the same too on my dually. This sounds like an incredibly expensive experiment to a non problem.

I think the term First or sececond gen is Dumb and reminds me of craperos and imports You can think it's dumb if you want but the terms are there to differentiate the various incarnations, and there are distinct differences. Yes, even the wheels. Take a look over at dieseltruckresource.com and you'll see how they are split up.

This topic is brought up about once a week now on facebook. Those that go buy the 81-93 Ram being being first gen are technically incorrect. Ive owned/own3 1980 truck that they said Dodge Ram on the tailgate and had the white leaping ram on the fender.Plus some if not all 1980 brochures say Ram on them. Either way its a term those like me that could care less about must deal with. Sorry for veering off topic

They are still D series pickups. Wonder what confusion will happen when Ram isn't a stand alone brand?

Because then you get those funky years where some have a 12v, and some have a 24v. or where some have a 5.9 and some have a 6.7 Photobucket sucks
