8-lug wheel suggestions
I'm really tired of trying to find 16.5" tires for my 71 3/4ton. Time for some new wheels- I'm thinking a 17" wheel but i don't know what I want. Any suggestions or pics?
Thanks!!!

Re: 8-lug wheel suggestions
I went to a Junkyard and bought some 16" wheels from another truck. Cheap and easy...I could even use the dog dish caps too...

Re: 8-lug wheel suggestions
What a great, clean, classic design! If I ever get new wheels, that's what I want... 16x8, with 285-75-16 BFG All Terrains.

Re: 8-lug wheel suggestions
I found a set of Sidewinders at a garage sale,..
17" & 8 lug to boot..FWIW, I dig the al-lu-mini-um, sure drops off the weight , when running all tires. -41-

Re: 8-lug wheel suggestions
Check out centerline and their over-stock wheels, new 18's, 20's etc for $159 a wheel.

Re: 8-lug wheel suggestions
I just spotted a set on CL for $100. I might have to pick those bad boys up, the H2 wheel looks great.

Re: 8-lug wheel suggestions
Late model wheels...
My 1970 is still in the works so I rolled these Late Model wheels just in front of the stock wheels to see what they looked like. Then purchased the adapter lugs for the center caps. They look great I'm keeping them!!!! The whole set with good rubber $175.00 at the yard

Re: 8-lug wheel suggestions
Hey thanks for the help guys, I really like the Centerline Vector wheels, 17x8" size but what back spacing should I go with? I don't want them sticking out past the wheelwells!!
