chevy 3500 dually-front wheels?

[dejadoo]

Can I run a regular front rim on the front of a dually instead of the dual rim that is common with the rears? (it is 2WD)
It looks like there is a spacer on the front, does it come off easily?
Is there a regular hub and studs under it?

I recently bought a new 07 chassis cab/duramax/allison that stickered for $32,500 for $22,000. I really didn't need it but hated to pass up the deal,
now if I just could afford to put fuel in it. LOL

I would assume that you could take the spacer off and run SRW type rims...















...but why?

You wunna carry two spares around? OK - I guess in true dually spirit - you always have two spares, so you don't really need a spare for that, but you would hafta buy a spare rim for the front too.




I still hafta ask - why?

that so called spacer is part of the brake rotor, on most dulleys

The spacer does come off and you would be able to run the rims you want. The only difference from a single wheel 1 ton to a dually front end is the spacer for the rim offset.

Again, just remember to carry a spare for the front and a spare for the rear.
