[FL71C10]

Do these look like the correct Ford 8 lug rims people are using on our 3/4 ton trucks? They are from an E350 van.

Thanks!

These American Racing 17" wheels came with my GMC.

As I was strolling through a jy over the weekend I came across a sad site.
There was two of these wide steelies in this bin. They looked to be at least 9-10"wide with the inside nubs for caps.
They both were way too mangled too save.

I did find these two sweet looking alum mags in the for sale pile.
I would like too find 2 more but don't know what they are called.
Look like westerns, I Googled and haven't seen any with the twist like these.

Anybody know a name?

I know I may be putting the cart way ahead of the horse, but I really want a set of Level 8 Punch wheels.

Nothin' fancy..... new-to-me (last year) Ford 16x7s on my K20.

[Nomadicflyer]

Is anyone out there using the Stockton 20 series? In 16", 8 lug? Price?

I'd like a set of stock steelies for the C20. 8 lug.

[Jose's 69]

The Nissan NV utility vans come with 17x7.5 wheels 8x6.5 bolt pattern. They run like 80 bucks each on eBay. Wish I had seen them before I went with stock steelies.

Finally got the new tires and wheels on today...

I have the new wheels and tires all around, what I had shown you was on the front, and what new was on the rear, so to set myself straight, the outlaw wheels are on both the front and the rear, the caps went on like they were made for the rear

I've heard about the spacers. But, if I don't go overboard, the 17" version of the wheels I posted earlier are rather affordable & shouldn't have any trouble clearing the hubs (I hope).

I think there is a slight difference in the hub size between the older trucks & newer. Since the H2 & your 2001 HD probably have the same axle, it would stand to reason that they would fit.

To the best of my knowledge, the Dana 60 full floater hubs stick out further than the GM corporate 14 bolt full floater.

If you have the Dana 60, I would highly recommend measuring before you buy wheels just to discover the caps don't clear.

If you look at the pictures, I have both sets of these hub caps. I learned the hard way that the newer gold and black caps don't clear my Dana 60. I believe they started putting the GM corporate 14 bolt on trucks in the gold and black hub cap era.

So I had to spend considerably more for the period correct caps with the blue bow tie - I like them but they are harder to find and usually cost much more unless you get lucky and find a good bargain.

In my experience, the Dana 60 full floater is a challenge when it comes to fitting caps, whether they're factory hub caps or center caps that come with aftermarket wheels.

I dunno... mine are 17s and they need a spacer. All the power to you if you can avoid it! If you have a different rear end (mine's the D60) then you'll have a different outcome.

It is still a good idea to measure than to just assume.

I'm pretty sure my truck didn't get any special rear axle. I probably have the "big hub" D60.

Here's mine with Hummer H2 wheels and with the stock wheels for comparison.

Boy, wagon wheels sure get around. Probably second most popular wheels on these trucks. I say popular by virtue of what fits, not by our choice. I'm ready to send mine out the door.

It may be an overused choice, but they just seem to work (both in looks & bolt up with no spacers). The whole truck looks good, BTW.

Here is a pic of my original paint 70 Longhorn still sitting on split rims. The only after market rim I'd put on it are period correct aluminum slots. I haven't found a set yet....
