Doug,

Where did you find those wide steel rims and the crome caps? I have been looking for a set of those for my Gmc Longhorn to put on the rear.

Those look great :metal:

Where did you buy them?

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Doug,
Stance is just right! Are they 16.5x9.75's? What size tire and how much lift?
Killer look dude! Thanks for sharing.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Put mine to work today..ok, just a trip to Lowes but here she is dirty. Forget what the wheels are called but picked em up used off Craigslist in Phili.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?

Here's mine but no idea what they are!

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Yes, you are correct on wheel size. Tires are 33s, with a 3-4 inch lift (not exactly sure on lift - I think it's near 4 inches. Fit's in the garage, tires don't rub! Wheels are kelsey hayes.

Thanks!

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

The center caps are out there... took me a few months to find them. I got the caps from PICKMUP on the board, then painted them. Caps are stainless. I've seen them on Ebay too - from time to time.

Rims - they are kelsey hayes, I found them locally. Hard to find... but worth the search.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Nice Wheels!!

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Very nice wheels and caps! That is my favorite setup all time, must be why I find myself hording these wheels. :lol:

Thank you for the information!

I have a set of Accuride steelies off of a Ford truck, 16x7. Due to the different offset, the stick out further in relation to the centers than GM wheels. Thus they have a look similar to the old 16.5 wide wheels, and they take a dog dish. If I get a chance I'll snap a pic. They take a set of 265/17-16s nicely.

This thread is fantastic. Slots, Turbines and what appears to be Jackman Whitespokes on Cadillacarts truck in #103. All these wheels were the rage when I was a kid. Around here the slang for the slots with the lip like in STLLOKN's #40 post is "kidney bean" slots due the shape of the slot compared to the ones without the lip, like these ones.

Anyone got a set of Jackman Aluminum spokes? I seem to remember it was not uncommon for the guys who had them to constantly have to add air to them.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

I actually run a set of those on my 1stgen Cummins truck. I think to make them work on a 4x4 you'd have to run a spacer I had to on my Dodge cause the hit the Tie rod ends, Keep in mid these wheels have a lot of back space and would be tucked severley with out spacers. I'm not sure how they'd work on a 2wd though

And FWIW, there are a few different versions of these as well, Some of the satin and painted ones are just cast whereas the Polished ones are all Forged

I might have to do an experiment for grins and giggles.

They look good on Dodges

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

I need to grin and giggle! Thanks for replying to my request. There is actually a set of those on the Minneapolis Craigslist right now for $400 with tires. REALLY tempted!

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Thats a fair price for a set of polished ones but they can be found cheaper. What kind of tires are on em?

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Here's the link:

The tires are good enough for summer driving, and I wouldn't pay full asking price....usually around here these wheels pop up in the $600 range.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

If I needed a set and was in the area and had the cash I'd probly jump on em if I were you. Another nice thing about these wheels is that there easy to sell. I actually know a couple guys lookin for a set as we speak.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

Here's mine

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

I'll get in on this one, running stock 16.5 x 8.25 steelies.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

I'm in need of some help, I have a 72 C-20 and I just got a set of 2500/HD Duramax wheels. I don't have the center caps, and want to be able to run them. I have looked on ebay for lug nuts but I'. not sure which ones I will need.
Thanks for any help,

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

You need to run the conversion lug nuts that they sell on Ebay to run the center caps. The late model trucks run metric studs.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
 

I understand that, which ones? 9/16-18 pitch thread with the 60 degree taper?
