HD wheels on my 85 K20

I finally scraped up the funds to get some new tires mounted to a set of HD wheels I bought last summer. I used my dremel tool to remove the center on the front hubcaps. The set of conversion lugs I bought on eBay worked perfect. The tires are 265/75/16 Wildcat a/t 2 from Les Schwab.

Very nice, you could have gone with a little bigger tire, I put 285/75/16's on mine.

Looks good. I think a 235/85 looks best on a 3/4 ton. 265/75 does too.

Looks better on a square than the platform they came from!

Very nice. You guys may have me convinced on those wheels for my 83
