Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
Has anyone ever seen a stamped 8-lug steel wheel (either aftermarket or modified "stock") that has been grafted to a 17" barrel???
I'd love to be able to use a stock set of hubcaps, and would really like to have the stock-appearing steel wheel but in the 17" diameter and with at least 5.5" of backspacing I realize it's an odd request, and will probably be a one-off custom job but I'm curious if it would even be possible to cut out and use a 16.5" center in the larger barrel???? Thanks for any links or suggestions on who might be capable of doing this kind of project. Bonus points to anyone who can post a pic where this has already been done by someone else!  -G

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
Thanks.
My only other idea was to find an off-the-shelf plain-looking steel 17" wheel and try to figure out a mounting scheme to hang a stock hubcap on it somehow? Maybe just weld the retaining "bumps" from the stock wheel to the generic wheel.... Or create some kind of wireframe mount that would latch to a factory hubcap? -G Posted via Mobile Device

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
He no longer does them. He did about 7 sets over the years but they were done in Indiana in 1997.Here is a pic with them mounted on my CC when I stop showing the truck.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
Speaking of Wheel Vintiques, here are the 16x10 wheels I purchased last year. Finally got around to putting tires on them this week. They do fit a stock 3/4 ton style hubcap just fine.

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
Im looking at Wheel Vintiques on Summits website and Im not seeing the 16 inch 8 lug steel wheels. I know a couple people on this thread said they got them from there. Could you get me a little more info ... part number or something?

Re: 8 lug wheels - what's on YOUR truck?
Gotta love more help =)
Does anyone know what the stock 8 lug rim width is? ... I'm not talking the Kelsey Hayes upgrade wheels. Just plain ol stock 8 lug width.
