I have come across these two eight lug 17.5 inch wheels, which currently have 7-17.5 tires on them. They have the inner hubcap clips. Did they come on some 3/4 or 1 ton trucks some time in the 60's?

I think they are Early 60's.

Member DPowers would know.

Maybe he will see this.
He is mostly on the 60-66 thread ?

I can send him a message if you want?

Hope you have a Great day tomorrow.

Yeah, I thought of posting it on the 60-66 but wasn't sure. I'll probably do that eventually.

Thanks, tomorrow will be a good 'un!

I bought my '68 C/10 stepside in 1973. It came with 7.00x17.5 bias ply tires on 17.5 x 5.25 6-lug rims. 17.5 was a viable size in that period.
In 2001, the tire shop told me my rims were shot. 17.5 had been discontinued, so I got 6 x 16 white spoke rims.

Here's some more information on the High Clearance wheels.
