Re: 16x8 steel wheels on sale

You really think 1/2" would even be noticed? Tire offerings for larger 16s are now getting how 16.5s had gotten before they got downright scarce. I'm concerned 16s will go the same way. 17s are the new 16 on newer trucks, with huge diameters being the dominant option. I'd say stock size 16s (like 235/85) will stay but I see the wide tire market going 17". For a company to produce these they need to know it's for years to come. I'd expect to see '88-up trucks running these if they came out.
