Dually Upgrade 15 to 16 wheels

[kozaz]

I posted the following in Van Section, but I think you guys over here might be able to help me out. I can not seem to find any concrete info on the internet.


I currently own a 78 dodge Chinook Motorhome, I think it is on a B300 chassis. It has a 360 with 15 inch dually wheels.

I would like to upgrade from 15s to 16s.

I'm also not sure what the rim width is of my setup vs. later models?

I came across the following info: 16inch Coin Face dually wheel only fit on coined hubs 67-93 Dodge one ton dually 67-82 Ford one ton dually

Are all 67-93 dodge one tons and 67-82 Fords coined Faced hubs, not sure if the above statement is accurate or not? So I'm looking for some verification.

If it's true, then I assume dually wheels from a chevy or gm will not work because they do not have coined hubs?

Any info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

Do you currently have coined or flat? If you have coined then you can use the coined 16" wheels. If they are the flat type, the wheel has to have the correct pilot hole size (centers the wheel).

I currently have 15 coin wheels, I'm trying to verify the Ford Years (for Coined) and to see if there are any other models that use coined 16" wheels?

Not trying to :hijacked: this thread with my stupidity, but what in the world are coined rims? lol I just got this funny mental pic of a gangsta with coins glued to his rims.....lol

Go to Southwest wheel, they have 16" OEM coined replacement dually wheels.

Blade Runner, coined wheels are the depression around the lug nut on the wheel. Flat wheels are not dished.

THANKS!!

From the above website I got the following info:
67-93 Dodge 1 Ton D300, W300, Ram 3500
67-84 Ford F350 4x2 Dually
67-84 Ford E350 Dually

Use the following wheel:

Wheel Size = 16x6
Bolt Circle = 8-6.5
Max Load 2140

The only issue is that above vehicles use the same wheels, but there are two types of wheels. One type is for LT235 Tires. Not sure if there is a way to identify what type of wheel it is, except for checking to see if the the tires on the wheels are LT235s.

It might be a difference in the back spacing. I would call them and ask.

We ran into a dealer said our new 94 had mixed rims from a 93, they wouldn't warrantee the repairs
