Can I use wheels from Chevy, Ford or Dodge dually on a Dexter 12k axle? My dad has some 16" chevy dually wheels he was going to junk but if I can use 1 or two as spares I'll grab them from him. Does anyone know if the dexter axles are the same bolt patten & offset of regular dually trucks?
What wheel bolt pattern are Dexter 12k's?

Grab a tape measure and a straight edge.
Some manufacturers list bolt pattern and bore size in mm. So you may have to use a conversion calculator.singlescrewshaker Thanks this. -
Can't recall the offset, but they run a similar width tire. I'd reckon they work..?
Make sure they are psi rated to 110psi or so if running 14ply rubber. That be the weak point I'm thinking..Bean Jr., crocky, 062 and 1 other person Thank this. -
All 8 lugs should be the same up to 2016. With exceptions. (2016 all three pickup mfrs. changed to odd patterns to screw with the aftermarket wheel makers.) The difference is gonna be the center hub bore. Trailer wheels have a bigger bore than most of the pickup’s because they make them more universal fit and don’t use hub to pilot them like pickup’s do.

Sometime around 2000 they changed the pickup truck spacing to 8x170. Most trailers use 8x6.5 ( which is the same as 8x165.1) . Ford and Dodge have the bigger center hole and Chevy has smaller hole.

I forgot about the hub pilot size.. lol
The 12k Dexter dually wheels mine had were 4.77 hub size. Oddly most the "super single" 17.5" wheels are 4.75 pilot, & they will just slip on..
Not that it matters much but I was big into diesel pickup in the early 2000's.. Don't pay attention anymore, but this is how I recall..
