Dually wheels (short for dual rear wheels) mean a vehicle has two wheels and tires mounted side by side on each side of the rear axle (instead of just one wheel per side).
In simple terms:
A normal truck has 1 wheel on each side at the back
A dually truck has 2 wheels close together on each side at the back
Why they exist
Support heavier loads
Better stability when towing trailers
More traction and safer under heavy weight
You’ll usually see them on heavy-duty pickup trucks, work trucks, and some RVs.
Here’s a complete breakdown of dually wheel sizes commonly used for RAM, Ford, and Chevy dually trucks — both OEM-style and aftermarket forged setups:
Truck Model | Factory Dually Wheel Size | Bolt Pattern | Notes |
RAM 3500 | 17x6.0 or 17x6.5 | 8x6.5 (older) / 8x165.1 (newer) | Usually steel or aluminum |
Chevy 3500HD | 17x6.5 or 18x6.5 | 8x210 | 2011+ uses 8x210 bolt pattern |

Things to Consider
