Need a Spare Tire and Rim for Ram 3500 DRW CTD

Thanks for the info, as I recall, the steel dually rims are reversible and can be run on the front or back, is that correct?

The other option would be to get another Alcoa rim.

I also considered the lug nut issue mentioned above so that needs to be considered if we go with a steel rim. Just trying to find something cheap to use as a spare.

You are probably find the Aluminum wheels are going to use different lug bolts. They probably wont work with the steel wheels. The steel wheel may not flange up to the Aluminum wheel.
Your easiest out is probably try to match what on the truck.

Discount Tire can sometimes get used OEM wheels. I bought a replacement polished factory alloy for my '04 SRW Ram for $70.

In a quick check of the used parts yard I have experience with shows that for a Ram(Dodge)3500 DRW pickup you are looking at a 17x6 wheel - this shows as 1994 and up. Double check to be sure about the 17" as that could have changed. If she has factory aluminum wheels check pricing on them as well. Just be aware that they will have a front and rear version. On my Ford the only difference in F/R was the face that was polished better, not sure about RAM but it is likely the same situation.

Check around - pricing does vary and shipping a steel wheel will be costly as well.
