Title: 16 inch wheels Question????
Post by: 19julien59 on July 30, 2011, 01:26:16 PM
Greetings all....I am working toward changing over to 16" wheels and tires and came across a good deal on Craigslist.  However, these are off a 1999 Dodge 3500...correct bolt pattern.  Is there any reason these won't work.  I have been told that only up to 1993 will work...not sure why...offset, width????  They aren't coined, but have the locating pins.  Please help...these are a screaming deal...Thanks Jon

I've never given much thought to changing my Clipper wheel size. I would check the lug nut style. The wheels you have found may use a differant lug nut style. I know that the coined wheels use a nut with built on washer and that rear nuts torgue (according to my book) 300ft pds. That makes it really tough to change on the side of the road.
