why won't the wheels fit on the front ?

A second gen dodge truck would be what year?

What year is your truck?

1994-2001 is second gen. Is it 4X4 or 4X2?

They do have the same bolt pattern as the rear, but it seems the wheel's bearing cover won't fit the wheel due to the wheel bearing (Hub) cap protrude pass the surface of the wheel. Stopping the wheel cap from seating.

Have you considered 17" rims that came on the 2001 "Off Road" 4X4's (or something similar in size)? They look nice on 2X4's also...

The wheels do fit ,it's just the caps that goes with the wheels will not fit due to the spindle grease caps protrude too far past the base lip of the wheels were the cap rest.

Lots of wheel companies offer different center caps just for that reason. What were the wheels on before?

They came from a tire shop i would imagine they are somewhere around 2000 Dodge factory ram's rims

Post a picture of the rim. I doubt they are 2000 vintage as 20's came in way later.

I been running 20 inch wheels since they came out about 20 years ago on my last 3 second gen trucks, all 2wd, and this is what I’ve found. You have a 1995 you said so I know what’s going on. I ran spacers for awhile until I had the rims machined to make the center cap holes bigger to fit over the spindle. The only trucks that are 2wd that you see with their front center caps on either had the hubs changed to the new style which happened in 2000 model year, or are 2000-2001 model year trucks. Any year of 4x4 truck will fit these wheels no problem in all years. I have owned 97,98, and 99 year trucks and all of them wouldn’t fit the wheels properly in the front. But there are ways to make them fit. Your 95 will need a hub update, spacers, or the wheels machined to make them go on.

I'm liking the hub update option so your saying the 2000–2001-year hubs will interchange with no issues?......Thank you

I’ve never done it, but I know guys who did it, and as I understand the newer ones are a hub with a bearing inside, unlike the spindle on the older trucks with the bearing you can change by itself, the newer ones are self contained apparently. If I were you I would just order hubs for a 2001 and put them on there.

Another thing I remembered just now as I type this is some of the wheels are different too. From 2002-2005 you could only get the flower petal style wheels but some were chrome clad and some were actual aluminum wheels. I had a set of each, and the aluminum ones had less clearance and needed a thick spacer, whereas the chrome clad ones had more clearance and could get by with a thinner spacer. Those chrome clad ones are the ones I had machined and still have on the truck. The aluminum ones I let go of years ago. They didn’t shine as much as they were like a semi wheel with the durabrite coating on them. The chrome clad wheels were prettier IMO.
