Re: Hubcaps

Heres another question. I hear a lot of trucks have 17.5s and other have 17s. Did the wheel combo vary at build plants or customer choice?

Its easy to get confused with 1/2 ton and 3/4 ton wheel sizes.Unfortuantely, sales brochure just list standard and maximum sizes, not the inbetween sizes. The 17.5" 1 piece wheel was available in both 6 lug 1/2 ton and 8 lug 3/4 ton. The 17" 6 lug 1/2 ton wheel does not exist. The 17" 8 lug 3/4 ton wheel was made, but only in a 3 piece heavy duty design.

Re: Hubcaps

then it will be the 17.5" wheel. most 1/2t would have been ordered with either 6.70 or 7;10 x 15" and most 3/4t would have been 7;50 x 16"
