Okay, so I had a blow out today hauling a load of gravel in my 47 1 ton. Nothing too dramatic. One of the 750-17's on split rims in the back shredded. I've got something smaller on one piece wheels on the front. So a couple of questions:

1. Is it important to match all four wheels? I seem to remember a tire salesman telling me that.

2. Should I look for one piece rims for the back and ditch the split rims? If so, what should I look for at the salvage yard? I need 8 lugs, but don't know the backspacing, etc. I guess the real question is what modern one piece wheel will match up to a 47 1 ton?

Any help appreciated.

Don't read the directions, that'd be too easy.
