I don’t really like the look of aftermarket rims ..I really dig the stock 2500 chrome rims.

Ok, i would say have custom rims made for your truck then, probably cheaper and you get what you want. 

 

if you don't want to that route;

For the rear, you would need to purchase a HD axle housing, shorten it, then buy compatible axels (probably custom made). Probably have the driveshaft rear u-joint updated to fit properly.

Possibly just have custom axles made to fit your existing housing(cheaper route).

 

For the front, hopefully it would be easy enough to by the HD knuckles / bearing assemblies, and having custom CV axles make to fit the new front splines and the old front diff. 

 

hope this helps.

8 Lug wheels are pretty damn heavy too, prepare to have a slower and slightly worse handling truck.
