Re: Wide & super wide GM oem wheels--seen these?

Sure,they are 6.25x16.5 and 9.75x16.5 Kelsey-Hayse wheels supplied to the factory or available through wheel suppliers and specialty upfitters like truck body and camper shops.I love`em but they`re heavy to ship around.They look great with hubcaps.There were 8x15 5 or 6-lug,also 8.25x16.5 and 9.75x16.5 6-luggers to fit higher load range wide 16.5s on 4wds.
On my GMC,9.75s:

On my`84 I owned,9.75s:

On a cool CamperCruiser,8.25s:

On a nice K/10:

I bought mine from a commercial truck wheel & Rim company.The 8.25s weren`t available and the 9.75s were listed as trailer-use only.I ignored that and put them on my trucks with no problems.A trailer's needs exceed a truck's,like tires.They get that lateral action(twisting)when turning.
