Narrow 8 lug wheels?
Not sure what section this belongs in, but since this section gets the most traffic, I figured I'd try it in here, if it needs to be moved, please do... I've got these damned ideas in my head that wont go away, I'm lookin for a pair of ULTRA COOL narrow front 8 lug wheels... Probably less than 6" wide. Gots ideas of building a tug truck out of an '85ish 2wd 3/4 ton truck that I can pickup, I'm lookin to do this on the cheap if possible so I'm looking for some help. Can someone help me find where I could find some 4-5" wide 15-16" wheels for a tug truck, They need to be narrow because I intend on running a 3 rib tractor tire on the front of it. Aluminum or steel doesnt matter, the pic I have possibly might be a trailer tire, but help please!!!

Re: Narrow 8 lug wheels?
You won`t find an 8-wheel narrower than stock that isn`t custom made.I`m sure that wheel on that truck shown is factory width,I`m sure.Tractors run front wheels that would be the same width,within an inch.Just get 6-6 1/2" stock rims.
