Nobody made a 17" wheel that could hold a factory hubcap so I had no choice by to figure it out and make my own solution.

I've seen posts now that US Wheel makes one now (Series 664)... 17 x 9 and 17 x 10 with positive offsets which is nice. They don't have the 4 small factory "windows" but most people would probably not even notice that small detail.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
I’m looking for some 16” steelies. Anyone know about the US Wheel OE series? They offer powder coating in a Sky White color for $35/wheel, but I’m not sure how that stacks up to the factory color.

My 70 C/20 originally came with 16 x 6.5" rims with 265/75/16 Back Country A/T tires.
Swapped those out for 16 x 7 F#rd rims with 265/75/16 Michelins and the appropriate hubcaps.

Big improvement! Looks great. Made this comment before, but I'll say it again, the 16"x 7" Ford Econoline rims are practically spot on to the original 16.5".

This is the route I took. I had them powder coated as Coker didn't offer them in white.

Looks great! Looks like it just rolled off the dealership lot!

Nice choice. IMO, the ultimate '67-'68 C 20 tire and wheel combo.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
I installed Western Wheel cyclones 8.25x16.5 cyclones. Polished and powder coated. They were the best conditioned parts on the truck. I sold the truck last year.

Thanks Factorystock. I prefer them even though they are not a common or popular choice.

Are those the stainless trim rings from Wheel Vintiques as well? Or factory GM from OBS truck? Looks like the rings that were factory on a 88 I had at one time. Ive got a full set of the Ford 16x7 wheels on now, but considered going with a 8 inch wide wheel on rear (tough to find salvage 16x8). I like a wider/slightly taller tire on the rear of a 2 wheel drive, especially on a 3/4 ton with a big block. It used to be common to run wider off road tires on the rear of 2 wheel drive. Guess I am showing my age.

They are OEM OBS from the stock skinny wheels.
