Re: 12 inch wide steel wheels

I have these -- https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wvi-82-600805

They only go to 10" wide, and are not available chromed. I'm told the dog-dish hubcaps will fit, but have not tried it myself.

It appears Stockton Wheel Series 20 is what you're looking for. I don't know where you order them, though.

Re: 12 inch wide steel wheels

I did some digging for you to see what I can find. Your only option to get as close to that as I could find was from Stockton wheel

http://www.stocktonwheel.com/heavy_duty.html

On the stockton wheel site, look at the "Explorer" - you'll probably have to contact them to see what widths are available but it seems like they are semi-custom and can be what you need them to be.

The other thing you could do is have one of the custom wheel manufacturers re-hoop or widen the 9.75" wheels which seem to be easier to find, to 12"
Weldcraft is who I've heard of for this service - some of the local racers have used them
http://weldcraftwheels.com/what-we-do/widen/

Another option is a little more blingy and not steel but I think would look good on your truck. I know its not exactly what you're looking for but I wanted to put it out there in case.

Hopefully that helps

thanks for the help. I have the m/t 16.5x12 wheels on my other 79k30 they have been on it for about 10years they are no longer shiney . I have thought about getting the 10 inch wheels and have them wided to 12 inches but it cost too much to do all of that. I have looked thru a bunch of wheels everytime i find something I like they don't come in 12inches wide. only 12s I find are in 20 wide .

Unfortunately I think when you get above 10" width in a wheel, cost almost always becomes a factor, especially when you cant use the inexpensive 80's/90's drag or mud truck wheels in 15" diameter.

I'll be running 17x10 steel wheels on the back of my truck but its not lifted (2wd, lowered) - I got them for a good deal, but they're powdercoated black and just basic 17x10's.


It might be worth giving Stockton wheel a call and see what they suggest. I wouldn't expect what you're trying to do to be less than 180 a wheel, and probably more like over 200.

Re: 12 inch wide steel wheels

lots of tires in heavy to all season tread designs for the 16.5" rim size .

http://www.intercotire.com/tires/typ...truck_off_road

as you have found out already 17" -up dont do much in WIDE rims unless you like the bro-dozer look .
