looking to replace 16.5 steel with 16x8 steel 8 luggers

ok 72 3/4 4x4 truck came with 16.5 wheels I want to get steel wheels that will hold the factory caps. I would like to go 16 for the better bead and tire selection. I think for what my goals are running a 11 wide tire 36 tall I need a 16x8

stockton wheel said thay can make them for me but I wanted to see if anyone has or knows of other places or OEM C-F-D application that may have them and work.

I found some 16" x 8" steelies on Craigslist. 3 had a Chrysler mark and the other one had a F@rd mark. Factory caps fit them no problem.

Just so you know the chevys had the 4 3/4" center hub and dodge and fords had larger centers. So there will be a gap around the hub. If you don't carry any weight you should be ok. Just check the lug nuts often to make sure they are tight.

Mine don't have a gap, they fit like they should.
