I found a set of 8-lug 16" rims off an '80s furd box truck. I used thick washers on the front driver side to gain clearance for the steering arm, maybe 1/16". This was for a '47 3800 panel. Before that I searched high and low to piece together four rims that worked. One from a junk yard had a hard time balancing, it was oblong.
