Thanks!
Been following your threads on the 16x8 wheels you had made. They look great!
A little background. When I bought the truck it had 33x12.50's on it. I thought they looked too big for the stock height, and they were on chrome spokes. White steelies were always going to be on it. I got a set with the truck, and I bought 31x10.50's to better fit the wheelwells.
When the resto started, I had in mind to put the 9.75's on it with 33x12.50's since I was going up 2 1/2". After awhile, I ended up with 3 sets of them.
Now, I don't think I'll be going with the bigger tires. I want a heavy duty stock look, and the wheel/tire ratio to the wheelwells appears to give me the look I want...For now.
I don't think the 31x10.50's will fit properly on the 9.75" wheels. I've not found any positive responses concerning that.
