Thanks

Just make sure that they are for the older fords. If I remember right the newer f250 ford rims wont work

Late Fords are 8x170mm, not 8x6.5. Just enough different to matter.

I'm running the H2 wheels and 265/70-17 Michelins on my '91 Sub 2500 2WD. Few years ago the fashion victims buying H2s were so desperate to get giant chrome things on their trucks that the stock take-offs were virtually being given away. Think I paid $20 apiece.

If I could just find some 16" steel wheels that would fit. I have ONE that came with the truck when I bought it, just need three more. I can get a nice set of tires for 16's if I just had the wheels. I like the look of steelies, caps, and rings. I think it is my dads fault since he did it to my old Dodge. I know it can be done with 16's with stock caps.



Thanks
Benjamin.

I bet these are them. There 33 12.5 16.5 tires on 16.5x10 8 lug wheels. My front two and my spare have the ford emblem stamped on them and my back two have GM stamped on them. I cut a little wedge out of each corner on the front fenders and welded it back together to make room for the bigger tires. And i put heavy duty springs under it to lift it up a little. Other than that the steering is just fine i don't even have a steering stabilizer.
