It still has the old tube type tires and 8-lug wheels that look cool, but since I plan on using this truck, I'd rather have radials. I'd like to keep the same tire diameter ~32". So far the only option I've found is going to the 19.5" wheels at Rickson with 225/70R19.5 tires.
I'm about to pull the trigger on these wheels, but it's killing me to pay over $1000 for steel wheels! Any ideas on where I could find them at a lower price? All I can find on Craigslist and ebay are for duallys.

Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | Here are some that have been for sale for months, good price I think The auction has expired, but he had 40 of them and I don't think any sold.. in the auction it says "#45320, 1967-1992, 19.5 IN WHEEL, 6.75" WIDE, 8 LUG 6.5" BOLT CIRCLE Call Jim with questions at 973-902-2288." He's in NJ, I was very tempted to buy some, even a bunch.. but found some used ones for about the same price and saved on the shipping or travel.

I can't tell if there is an offset on those wheels, but I'll call him tomorrow and find out.
Thanks for your help! | | | | | Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 . | | . Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | They are normal single wheels, if they are offset at all it's not much more than 5/8" one way or the other from center.
Let us know what you find.

Joined: May 2005 Posts: 8,878 | Another place is http://www.wheelsnowinc.com/I wouldn't be surprised if they bought the lot of them form the guy in NJ, no idea really but it wouldn't surprise me. I haven't purchased any wheels from them, but did ask some questions and they have some odd rims I was looking for at a very fair price, seemed very helpful and professional. Which was not my experience with Stockton several years ago now, I sure hope Stockton has improved, but I won't be finding out.
