Re: Another Wheel question thread, MB Old School
CC69RAT, great info, thanks! I didn't even think about the thicker/thinner flange issue, just assumed the "dish" would be 15mm greater. I do have the original 72 housing, I haven't measured it yet but I'm assuming it is 57" wide like you mentioned. I would make sure to measure before I made a wheeI purchase. So from what I can gather the inner fender area of a step side is the worrisome area, is that correct? I was really hoping to get one of these 9.5s on the truck and drive it as is (sort of a patinad shoptruck look, or in my case, just old and ugly), and in the mean time look for a short wide fleet bed to swap onto the truck. I was really hoping one of the 9.5" wheels would work for both applications but maybe I'm out of luck. Need to keep researching and measuring I guess, I really want a wider wheel out back. By the way I will be dropping the truck some, somewhere between 3/4 and 4/6. I will make the drop accommodate the wheels, as opposed to the other way around.
