Default Can I safely run 2500 series 8-lug wheels on a 3500?
Can I safely run 2500 series 8-lug alloy wheels on a 3500 Express? The fit is OK but does anyone know of any liability or safety reason why this shouldn't be done? Or looking at it another way, does anyone know why the 2500 series alloy wheels were not made available on the 3500 series? Maybe they were and I just don't know it?

Thanks
Doug

Sure. Can't see why not. You could call the dealer and ask if the alloys you have have a weight rating.... just to double check.
