Re: Survivor 76 Crew Cab
Nice truck , I see those 8 lug rims and was wondering what size they are? I riding a 77 Suburban K20 and am having a terrible time finding 16.5 tires

Re: Survivor 76 Crew Cab
You have two 16.5" tire choices anymore. Super Swampers or 37" Wrangler military tires. Neither of which you want anyway. Best option in my opinion is get a set of 16x7 Ford van rims. Up to 1996 model year or so. They are cheaper than aftermarket 8" rims and give you a little more width than our 16x6's

The Firestone Transforce are still out there new in 9.50x16.5 as of today at about $170 a tire. STA - Specialty Tire of America also has some more vintage sizes. Theres also a tire called Power King that pops up online in the 16.5 diameter. It says its an all-season radial, but it sure looks like a trailer tire to me. |

Re: Survivor 76 Crew Cab
Pay attention when youre buying them. Some of the E350 vans didnt come with hubcaps, and the steel rims dont have the nubs stamped in them to retain hubcaps. If you want to run original Chev/GMC caps you what the rims with the hubcap nubs

Re: Survivor 76 Crew Cab
@burnclown Funny you ask, its another reason I dont tread to far into the scrap yard - puncturing a NLA tire. The wheels are 16.5 with an aging set of Transforce tires. Im going to do the Ford Econoline 16 wheel swap when these tires are done.
