I run 16.5x10 steelies with the 3/4 ton dog dish caps for that rugged, yet stockish look. Took me a while to put together a full set of those rims.

El Bombero · 05-11-2009, 09:51 PM

I know they have a little "bling factor" but that's how I like 'em. Alba wheels.

**mr48chev** · 05-11-2009, 10:57 PM

16x8 Ultra 50's with 245x16 street tread tires.

Muellers69GMC · 05-11-2009, 11:43 PM

Not suggesting this...but my truck has the orginal 16" split rims:

That has to be the greatest quote: "those look pretty nice and I'd like to see them mounted up"... I'll be laughing at that one for a while!

this is my grandpa's 68 that got handed down to me. I installed 05 2500hd wheels on it a few weeks back. I think it looks good.

Alcoa made wheels like that and stopped.Are those ultras still made?
9.75 x 16.5 Kelsey Hayes and 8 x 16 American Racing AR-23s:

8.25 x 16.5 American Racing aluminum slots:

8.25 x 16.5 Black Nuggets by either American or US Wheel?They are made in 16 still...I think?

88-98s painted to match,on aother member`s truck:

These are those Alcoa alloys on another member`s truck:

carguy717 · 08-03-2009, 08:58 AM

Mine use to have 16.5 split rims, so I had to get rid of those. lol the only problem with the new hd wheels is the lug nuts you need to buy, EXPENSIVE!

**special-K** · 08-03-2009, 09:32 AM

Are those the 9/16" lugs so you can use the center caps?Where did you get them?

carguy717 · 08-03-2009, 11:57 AM

Well idk if this is uncommon or not, but my truck has a Corp 14 with 9/16 wheel studs and the front is 1/2. Any info on that would be nice. But to answer your question the lug nuts are dorman pn 611-161 for the rear and 611-222 for the front. The caps fit ok, the fronts are a little loose so maybe a different pn would work better but this is what I found. I got them from carquest. I hope this helps someone.

falvarez12001 · 08-03-2009, 12:29 PM

Here are some picstures of the wheels and tires I'm running

**special-K** · 08-04-2009, 07:21 AM

The 1 tons with drum brakes,70 and earlier,had 1/2" studs.I guess 3/4 tons did,too?the rear could be a 71/72.

Who makes those wheels?I don`t think I`ve seen them.

carguy717 · 08-04-2009, 08:57 AM

Yeah I was gonna ask what you did to get that much drop? It looks awesome!

Special K They are Ultra wheels Assualt

Carguy I have drop coils in the front and custom drop leaf springs with drop shackles in the rear

**gerfunken** · 08-04-2009, 12:16 PM

My 35" on 16" rims.

clos69 · 08-06-2009, 09:41 AM

This looks like a good deal if someone is looking for some...not mine http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/20inc...=p4506.c0.m245

Rupdog · 08-29-2009, 04:00 PM

i ended up going with stock steel 88-98's, with the chevy caps. problem is figuring out how to get the caps on the rear... they don't clear the center hub on my 3/4 ton leaf reared truck. doesn't appear to be enough meat on the center cap to hog it out to clear the hub. anybody seen any spacers to go between the cap and the rim? i dont' want to space the wheel outward, taking it off the 4 load bearing points on the center edge of the rim opening. (did that make sense?) lol

Solver · 08-29-2009, 05:15 PM

rupdog I run the same wheels and all I did was to run the original lug nuts on first, then the outside thread lugnut on, then there is room for the rear cap and black lug covers to screw on

extd56 · 08-29-2009, 06:16 PM

Here are the ones on my extended cab truck

extd56 · 08-29-2009, 06:19 PM

And my crew cab the first picture are of the wheels that were on it and the ones that are on it now.
