3/4 ton 8 lug wheel options
Looking for new wheels/tires for my pick up. 57 3/4 ton. I tried on some 235/70/16 but the 16 inch rim hits the radius turning rod joint thing when i turn the wheels.
What are some wheels that will work on my 3/4 ton 8/6.5 lug? Show some pictures too if you have them |

As far as I know they are the original ones.

Re: 3/4 ton 8 lug wheel options
I have a 1950 3600 so have been researching my guts out on wheel options as well.
Not sure on your measurements exactly but I have worked out that the most important measurement is the back spacing on a wheel or the depth of the "dish" behind the wheel. I have roughly figured that if I stick to around 3.5 inch back spacing it should not interfere with anything. This is of course based on my measurement so hope it helps. From memory Wheel Vintiques do a nice 8 lug with suitable backspacing. The only suitable rims I have been able to find both her in Australia and online elsewhere are 16s which I'm more than happy with. The rims I have on now, have a spacing plate that sits between the drum and wheel to prevent rubbing because the backspace is too big. I don't particularly want to keep running that set up so i will change them over soon. Another option to consider though. Posted via Mobile Device Last edited by Dodger; 05-01-2013 at 06:35 AM. |

Re: 3/4 ton 8 lug wheel options
With updated tie rod ends and a small spacer (1/2"), my findings are that a standard wheel off a mid 80's 3/4 ton truck will bolt right up with no issues.
