Lot's of good stuff there.) looking for a wheel or two for my truck. What I found was a (58 or 59 - not sure which) Viking 38 with a full set (7) 8.00 x 19.5 rims on it (tubeless no less) with what appears to be the right bolt pattern/diameter/center hole size. My question is this; does anyone know if those rims will fit my 49 3800 without rubbing on the tie rod ends or anything else? It looks like the tires are narrow enough so that they won't rub but I didn't have a tape measure so I can't be sure. Also, are there other things to be concerned about as far as fit goes? I've used some 16.5 rims off an early 70s C-30 but they rub since the tire is too wide. I also found an original horn in another truck - it was a good day!!
Thanks in advance for the input. | | |
