1996 Dodge 2500 wheels on 1969 C20?

Hey Folks,

I'm looking at a pair of aftermarket wheels that were used on a 1996 Dodge 2500 truck. These are 8 lug, 20" wheels, and the size is: 295/50/20

I have a 1969 C20 with a 2.5" spindle drop in the front, stock rear. Still trying to get more info about the wheels, but the seller doesn't know much. They are pretty nice looking, and I think would go ok on my C20.

Do folks know if these will fit ok? Like I said, I'm working on getting backspacing numbers, or a model number on the wheels, but wondering if I should take it further.

This is a good tool for checking wheel fit

Thanks for the link to the wheel call. According to it they will fit, but I really need to get the details from the seller.

make sure you check the hole center size for the front hubs, this is where I think the problem may arise .If I remember ford ,dodge, chevy 8 lug pattern is same on certain years , but hub size on certain years tend to vary in diameter size of hub.

I think the offset on the Dodge rims are different, and you will have to use a 1 1/2 or 2 inch spacer to set the tires out where they should be.

Without the spacers the stance will look top heavy
