1 ton wheel question
Are all 1 ton wheels basically the same back-space wise? I found some that are on a mid 80's Ford F350 to replace the split rims on my 69 C30. (both are the 16 inch variety)
I know the lug holes are bigger but is there anything else to watch for such as back space? By the way, one wheel on my wrecker is a non split wheel and it has the 1/2 inch lug holes. What might this be from? I thought the non splits came a year or two later and with the 9/16 lug holes? Thanks, Bob

Re: 1 ton wheel question
I've got a Dana 70 out of a Ford in my ramp truck and it has a Ford rims on the back and Chevy rims on the front and they have the same backspacing. I have 16" Dodge dually wheels on my '67 C-30, and they are the same. I don't know if they're all always the same, but they seem to pretty universal in my experience. The center hole and lug holes change manufacturer to manufacturer.

Re: 1 ton wheel question
80's Frod and GM dually wheels are different when it comes to lug layout, one's measured from the center of the stud and the other from a different point, my dad figured this out because his Chevy kept gettin vibrations with the Frod wheels on it.
Backspacing, I don't know, it ain't hard to check though! :P |
