mvigo 'Bolter M Joined: Apr 2023 Posts: 46 SF Bay Area	Gdads51, I don't have wheels for it yet, what came with the truck were 15" split rims, they will NOT fit on either side. I am trying to figure out how big a wheel I need to buy, and now, why is one side off from the other by 3/8" or so. If that makes any sense. The calipers will have to fit inside the wheel once wheel installed, correct? I am on the hunt for a junk yard 16" 8 lug wheel that I can use to help with measurements and have yet to find one. 8 luggers parts are few and far between around my neck of the woods... 1953 GMC 3/4-ton, deluxe cab, long bed "My biggest project" Follow the story in the DITY
