Do they make 8 lug wheels larger than 16"? - The 1947 - Present Chevrolet & GMC Truck Message Board Network

Was talking with a friend the other day about restoring my truck, and the subject of wheels came up.. we figured an 18" wheel would look good when I got around to buying them.

Then I thought.. I've never seen an 8 lug wheel larger than 16" (16.5" doesn't count, no one uses those.. :p ). Do they make em? Or is the 3/4 ton street truck market just too small?

Hey! I have 16.5's! LOL Got a fantastic deal on them so I couldn't refuse. 4 nice 10 inch white wagon wheels with nice 31's on em for $60.00 I paid $50 for the truck and put $60 dollars worth or wheels/rubber on it. So far, things are going good.

Now if I add up the reciepts for my other truck I'd probably burn up the calculator!

dont go by the price they have on that website. you can usually get them quite a bit cheaper than they have listed.
