Will the 1988 -2010 GM dually wheels work on our coaches with 2" spacers on the front? I think they will work OK on the rears? I found a picture of the X-45239 wheel showing the proper profile but when I did a Google search, one of the sites showed a picture of a wheel with that part number, the correct 4-9/16 center hole size, but with the wrong profile. I suspect the wheel manufacturer has substituted the newer profile for the older one but with the old 4-09/16 hole size.

I think the problem with those wheels is that they will not clear the calipers on the front, so they would probably fit with spacers. Might be worth a try anyway.

I can state definitively that the 88 to 2010 dually wheels WILL NOT fit the rear positions on our coaches with stock rear brakes. They hit the drums and won't seat against the mounting flange. Don't know about with disc brakes as I have not installed my 'Manny Brakes' yet.
