They have three varieties, all with the old traditional hole pattern. Now somebody needs to contact them to find out what the offset is.
Speaking of news, I see that the "new front AD fenders made of steel" have disappeared from their catalog and I can't find them in Jim Carter's any longer. I wonder what is up with that? | | | | | Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 102 Member | | Member Joined: Jul 2004 Posts: 102 | Are these the wheels that fit 3/4 ton trucks?  And what is LMC?

They don't have the fenders anymore because "they have decided to stop producing them." YEA RIGHT. I called them to order some, and they told me that. NO ONE is selling them, all I can find is fiberglass. Good luck with the wheels, I've seen them and they look pretty good. | | | | | Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 'Bolter | | 'Bolter Joined: Mar 2002 Posts: 9,115 | Tony N
the difficult part of getting modern rims for an AD 3/4 or 1 Ton is the backset of the rim. That can't be any more than 3 1/2" in most cases. They are 16" rims, not 17" but they do show 16.5" rims. 16.5" is an odd size of tire which I think is going to disappear. | | |

I have some 16x6 rims which handle my 235-85-R16 tires on the front. I think they sit as high as the original tires on the 17" rims.
