2006 Dually Rims

I need to get my tires rotated on my 2006 Dodge Ram 3500 and don't know if the front rims are the same as the rear dually rims. I want to rotate front tires to a rear position, and put two rears on the front.

If the rims are the same its easy but if tires need to be switched on the rims that's another story.
Thanks
  • I have the stock painted wheels with the chrome covers so they will all be the same. Thanks
  • If they are stock wheels and not some aftermarket wheel, the Dodge dually wheels are the same. Inside or out. Dodge uses a chrome wheel liner and the wheels are painted beneath. The liners simply interchange from wheel to wheel. No mounting or dismounting of the tires.
  • Typical of most dually pickups with factory stock or factory optional wheels, all years, all brands...

    If your rims are painted steel, all 7 are the same.

    If your rims are chromed steel, the fronts and outter rears are the same, while the inner rears and the spare are likely painted steel.

    If your rims are aluminum, the fronts and outter rears are the same, but are likely only polished on one side. The inner rears and spare are likely painted steel.

    Put an eyeball on them and check it out.
  • I have polished rims, so the tires are (partially) rotated from side-to-side and not front to rear.
