I found a nice set Michelins on Craig's. They are mounted on M715 wheels and have new tubes and flaps. I want to use the tires on my 1970 W300, which has a nice set of STA's mounted on the original wheels. Rather than dismounting these, I would like to go tubeless with the Michelins. Will any Dodge 8 lug wheel work? I know that up to some point, Ford and Chevy share this pattern, right?

If I recall the M715 uses Dana 70 axles, as did the W300. Don't know how "identical" they (axles) are.
Chevy/Gm wheels at some point (70's-80's?) wouldn't work on Dana axles, center hole in wheel is too small to go over the hub.
Not sure but Dodge 8 lugs should be same from 60's to 93 maybe. Don't know what years changes occured.

You should be able to use any 8 lug wheel from a chevy/dodge or a ford wheel up to 1998. Here's the 9.00x16 michelins on my W200. I had some 16"x7" wheels powder coated and had the tubeless michelins installed. They balanced up really well for having some odd tread wear.

what are your plans for the M715 rims?Comment

They are available! I'm trying to find a tire hammer locally so I can dismount the tires.Comment

hole. Also, when using ford wheels, keep in
mind that they did switch to a larger diameter
stud [don't know the exact year] which may
present problems with proper lug nut seating.
Just my two cents.....
