Ram 3500 Wheels

Anybody know of any wheels or hub caps that don't stick out a foot past front fender on a duel ?

I don't care for the look.

I can't tell if you are serious or not. Since no one else replied, I'll give it a shot. The reason the wheels stick out on the front of your dually is due to the need for a spare tire. They do that so you can use the spare in any location on the truck. To eliminate that would require changing out the front end parts to make it narrower and then you loose the ability to use your spare.

I was wondering about the spare situation. Thanks for the information.

I understand all that, but I can't stand the looks, also the stock spacer, wheel, & tire weigh about 150 Lbs each, not that it matters. I have come up with something I like, I will have to carry an additional spare or a can of flat fix. The new front tire and wheel weigh 50 lbs less. Also front tire is brutally strong don't see much of a chance for a flat unless someone takes a shot at tires.

I'd rather they put the wide-track axle from the 4500-5500 C&C with more steering angle. Plus with reduced track width difference it probably wouldn't wander, and follow ruts as badly.

The cab and chassis rear axle is also narrower, so win/win.

That looks pretty good. What wheels on the front?
