Re: 12 inch wide steel wheels
I have these -- https://www.summitracing.com/parts/wvi-82-600805
They only go to 10" wide, and are not available chromed. I'm told the dog-dish hubcaps will fit, but have not tried it myself. It appears Stockton Wheel Series 20 is what you're looking for. I don't know where you order them, though. |

Re: 12 inch wide steel wheels
I did some digging for you to see what I can find. Your only option to get as close to that as I could find was from Stockton wheel
http://www.stocktonwheel.com/heavy_duty.html On the stockton wheel site, look at the "Explorer" - you'll probably have to contact them to see what widths are available but it seems like they are semi-custom and can be what you need them to be. The other thing you could do is have one of the custom wheel manufacturers re-hoop or widen the 9.75" wheels which seem to be easier to find, to 12" Weldcraft is who I've heard of for this service - some of the local racers have used them http://weldcraftwheels.com/what-we-do/widen/ Another option is a little more blingy and not steel but I think would look good on your truck. I know its not exactly what you're looking for but I wanted to put it out there in case. https://www.summitracing.com/parts/m...2482/overview/ Hopefully that helps |

Unfortunately I think when you get above 10" width in a wheel, cost almost always becomes a factor, especially when you cant use the inexpensive 80's/90's drag or mud truck wheels in 15" diameter. I'll be running 17x10 steel wheels on the back of my truck but its not lifted (2wd, lowered) - I got them for a good deal, but they're powdercoated black and just basic 17x10's. It might be worth giving Stockton wheel a call and see what they suggest. I wouldn't expect what you're trying to do to be less than 180 a wheel, and probably more like over 200. |

Re: 12 inch wide steel wheels
lots of tires in heavy to all season tread designs for the 16.5" rim size .
http://www.intercotire.com/tires/typ...truck_off_road as you have found out already 17" -up dont do much in WIDE rims unless you like the bro-dozer look .
