I believe the diameter is around 31" or 32". Now this would be a great replacement for wheels and tires on the AD 1 and 3/4 Tons. I would think that a 5.5" rim width would probably come with a 3.00" backset. Does anybody market such a rim? | | |

I'm running the 7.50R16 Timberline AT on the rear of my 52. For rims I used Chevy 8 bolt from an early 90's truck, but the setback is so deep I can't put the same wheels/tires on the front. Someone else here, and I can never remember who, is using Dodge rims, which have the correct setback and lug pattern.
