They're "not DOT rated" for trucks, but don't worry- - - -they're plenty strong and lots of stovebolters with 8-lug 3/4 ton trucks are using them. Ditto on the Ford van wheel- - - -the only drawback is that the center hole does not fit the hub flange closely, so the weight of the vehicle is carried on the lug studs. Be sure to use a torque wrench when tightening the lug nuts to assure all the lugs carry equal weight. 100 ft/lbs. is a good number. Jerry
