Considering adding some aftermarket Dick Cepek GM7 wheels to my otherwise stock Ram1500. I've been doing quite a bit of research on the concerns of going from the factory hub-centric wheels to an aftermarket lug-centric design on a tow vehicle due to the load on the wheel studs vs. the axle hub. Does anyone have any opinion on this or reason why I shouldn't install aftermarket lug-centric wheels considering i tow a 31' travel trailer (~8000 lbs) with this truck ?
Pretty much all after-market wheels are lug centric. Their center bore is larger to fit a variety of vehicles with different axle diameter. Most are also available with hub centric spacers to fit the specific application. Check with the place selling the wheels, they should have, or can point you to, the proper spacers for your needs.
