A second gen dodge truck would be what year? 1933? I am assuming you actually have some other arbitrarily named "2nd gen" dodge truck.
Are you talking 1/2 ton? 1994-2019 1500 classic with 5 lugs all use the same pattern (even earlier ones too but I never messed with interchangin them) and easily interchange on a 4wd, on a 94-01 2wd you can't run the center caps of the later wheels because of the spindle, I ran mine like this on a 1998 2wd from an 07 1500.

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...
https://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/dodge,2001,ram+1500+pickup,5.9l+v8,1366590,wheel,wheel,7644 OUCH! They've They've gone up in price... Don't forget the $40 core charge for reconditioning. Those were easy to find 20 years ago, guys were pulling them off for 15x10's and easy to find tires. rockauto liinky

why won't the wheels fit on the front ? 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. Post some pictures of your truck and the wheels you are trying to put on. The wheels should fit without the center caps.

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?

That's correct, it would be 2002 or later that 20 inch wheels would be an option. That's probably when the hub changed happened.
