Hmm, good to know. I know one rim will fit on one make but not the other...is it the Ford center hub that's too small for dodges?

its the other way around. rims from a 94 to at least a 2002 will not fit on the 4x4 fords. the ford hub is to big. so ford rims will fit on a dodge but not vice versa. trust me i just tried 2 days ago.

The Ford center hub hole is smaller than the Dodge, so Dodge will fit Ford but not the other way around. Most aftermarket rims have the large center hub hole so they will interchange either way. I not only tried, but owned a Dodge truck and Ford truck at the same time and swapped rims around as I found ones I liked at the junkyard.

take a roll of the plastic flower garden edging and zip tie it to your inner fender, had to do it on one of my old trucks and they passed it, cheap and easy

This guy's right....older dodges have a larger center hub as you and Dr Bowtie say. I have also tried the same thing on my dodge and F150 that my bro owned.
