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

Thanks bud. That was back in 2015.

Nobody made a 17" wheel that could hold a factory hubcap so I had no choice by to figure it out and make my own solution.

I've seen posts now that US Wheel makes one now (Series 664)... 17 x 9 and 17 x 10 with positive offsets which is nice. They don't have the 4 small factory "windows" but most people would probably not even notice that small detail.

Where did you find the 17'' hoops?

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

Here is my initial setup .....

Have a second set in the works as well!

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

I’m looking for some 16” steelies. Anyone know about the US Wheel OE series? They offer powder coating in a Sky White color for $35/wheel, but I’m not sure how that stacks up to the factory color.

My 70 C/20 originally came with 16 x 6.5" rims with 265/75/16 Back Country A/T tires.
Swapped those out for 16 x 7 F#rd rims with 265/75/16 Michelins and the appropriate hubcaps.

Yah, Accuride here too.

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

Big improvement! Looks great. Made this comment before, but I'll say it again, the 16"x 7" Ford Econoline rims are practically spot on to the original 16.5".

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

This is the route I took. I had them powder coated as Coker didn't offer them in white.

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

here's my 72 truck with it's original 16.5's repainted and the spare wheel with 5 new Firestone Transforce 9.5x16.5 10 ply tires and a set of hubcaps i restored.

Great job very nice!

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

thank you sir.i'm pretty happy with how it all turned out.

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

Here are mine: 19.5" Kelsey-Hayes which were an option for these trucks.

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

Looks great! Looks like it just rolled off the dealership lot!

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

Nice choice. IMO, the ultimate '67-'68 C 20 tire and wheel combo.

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

thank a million.

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

I installed Western Wheel cyclones 8.25x16.5 cyclones. Polished and powder coated. They were the best conditioned parts on the truck. I sold the truck last year.

Both Wheel Vintiques 16 x 8, both powder-coated.

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

Thanks Factorystock. I prefer them even though they are not a common or popular choice.

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

The GREAT BIG blue rally looks so nice.

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

Are those the stainless trim rings from Wheel Vintiques as well? Or factory GM from OBS truck? Looks like the rings that were factory on a 88 I had at one time. Ive got a full set of the Ford 16x7 wheels on now, but considered going with a 8 inch wide wheel on rear (tough to find salvage 16x8). I like a wider/slightly taller tire on the rear of a 2 wheel drive, especially on a 3/4 ton with a big block. It used to be common to run wider off road tires on the rear of 2 wheel drive. Guess I am showing my age.

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

They are OEM OBS from the stock skinny wheels.
