71 GMC Longhorn tires and/or rims
I just bought a 71 GMC Custom Camper. The tires on it are 9.50R16.5LT and they are rotten. I need new tires, the only tires I found at this size are trailer tires or I found them as 2ply at $246 each. So I started researching rims to update to a standard tire size. Well, I am trying to keep truck fairly stock. So I want a rim I can put the hubcaps back on. Several tire shops have told me just to get Craigers or some other rim. I do not want to change the look that much if it can be helped. Any ideas from veterans in restoration? This is my first project truck, so feeling a bit frustrated by simple tires.
Thanks Jerry
