Re: 8 lug 16 inch steel wheel prices.

It may be worth a call to Les Schwab to see about a dismount, blast and powder coat. I think it is more reasonable than you would expect.

Ive had them do this for me before. Very reasonable for sure. Don't want to powder coat though, Ill leave that up to the next owner.

Im not up on tire sizes, but Ill need them to be at least as tall as the tires on my truck right now. 33x12.5x16.5. Don't care if they are narrower.
Keep an look out for 285/75-16s. They'll be about the same height and about 2" narrower (32/10.50). They are fairly common, so should find used easier. I think 235/85s will look a bit anemic. 255/85s will be as tall and even skinnier, but harder to find

Good info thanks. With a four inch lift I don't want them any shorter than the 33's that are on it now

Re: 8 lug 16 inch steel wheel prices.

Picked up the wheels tonight. Super nice guy. He had a NW C10's sticker on the rear window of his truck. More of a square body guy though.

Thanks again John for the heads up! Now I have to check my cap stash and see how many 3/4 caps I have (its always something haha).
