Re: 8 Lug Wheels for 4x4

GhettoLuxury, I sure do like that black truck, it looks almost exactly like my 82. I have a 4 inch lift but fixing to get some other rims and tires (305/75/16) i currently have 315's are they are just a tad to big, they will rub when I turn and hit a bump. Also has some painted black rims, I think painted with bed coating, they are going as soon as I can get these other.

Re: 8 Lug Wheels for 4x4

what size are the tires. I have 315/75/16, but im working on some 305/70/16 for it with some aluminum rims. the guy thinks they came off of a Ford but he is not real sure. They have the holes for the acorn style lug nuts. I have the pattern Im gonna give it a try

I'm running Ion Alloy wheels, I bought them off an ebay store for $100 apiece. 16x10 wrapped in 38x15.50 Baja Claws.

Re: 8 Lug Wheels for 4x4

well it seams the the rims evidently came off of a Ford. The pattern is just a little to big. Back to the drawing board

Re: 8 Lug Wheels for 4x4

How skinny, like the stock wheels? You can also run for van wheels, 8 lug 16X7 wider than GM wheels, ran a set last winter. I would try a junkyard. Steel spokes and modular are avail just about everywhere you can get custom wheels.
