dually wheel question

[mopar346]

Well, I found the source of my vibration this evening. When I got to the point of removing the rear tires Ipot to the last nut on one side and I heard a clunk as it the wheel dropped - uhoh. Did the other side same thing. I got my digital caliber out and sure nuff the originals measured 4.55XXX and the 16s I had picked up measured 4.875XXX. I was running a set of the originals with new 16.5s on the front, so I grabbed a set of the old 16.5s I was using to test for the vibration and bolted them to the back. Guess what no more vibration, go figure. Fortunately the yard I got them from are friends so if they have the right ones they will swap me. The rims had Firestone stamped on them, I didn't see anything that looked like a part number to me but there was a 6X16 marking on them, but the caliper don't lie. Good news is I found my problem, bad news is I am searching for rims again.

Good reading.

I may at some point in the near future take the 16.5's off my single axle 1 ton and look for a 16" wheel (preferably aluminum) that will fit and hopefully clear those massive brakes.

I've seen the forged aluminum wheels that come on the 01 and up chevy 3/4 ton trucks installed on older squares that don't look too horribly bad. But it still hasn't grown on me yet.
