There are no OE 10" rally's, but there are a couple places who are/were re-hooping factory 8" s with 10" hoops. There is a shortage though, recently they have become hard to find. Lots of photos here, seek and he shall find.

If you go with tens watch your back spacing(BS) if they need to fit in the wheel wells.
You also should look at the tire specs., and they will provide side wall width for a specific rim width. B F Goodrich does for their T/As. You can take a known rim/tire combo and measure your specific truck to see where your new combo will fit/ how much clearance you will have. Knowing current wheel BS and width, calculate your centerline, from their add your additional width (knowing width/BS of new combo)
I have thought about 10s for a steper and it would be a close fit.

Ran 15 x 8's front & 15 10's rear on my '72 back in the day. Cut coils and drop spindles = California rake. I like the look of bigs n littles.

Milo,
How well does your truck drive on the highway if it has groves or uneven pavement? Does uneven pavement cause the truck to pull from driving straight.

Thanks,
Les

Drives nice on the freeway, no problems wandering or pulling, only problem is when driving over construction zones at speed with different levels of pavement, but that is to be expected with any vehicle

I had a set of 8's widened to 10" about 20+ yrs ago. I took them to a welding shop and they cut the outer edge of the rim off and welded in a 2" band and then welded the outer edge of the rim back on. So it has 2 strips of weld that is visible but not horrendous looking, IMO. I put the stock trim ring back on and I really like the look of my stock, painted black rallies. I had BFG 295-50 radial t/a's on them originally. I've only had them on 2 trucks in that time frame. 1st truck I had them made for was my 80 streetcoupe, (which is now long gone, but still looking for another one now) then now they are on my '77 short stepside. I'll post pics later.
