3/4 ton rims - 8 lug
Okay - so I have the 16.5 rims and tires on my new project truck and I did a search on here for 8 lug rims to see what else is out there...lots of posts - but few pix (mostly due the the age of the post). The rims and tires on the truck are fine, but figured I would check out what others are running so I can keep my eyes open in the future should I need to move away from the 16.5 tires when they need replaced (difficult to find the 16.5 tires).
So I would like to see what you guys are running. From the pix I have seen I like the Western Wheel Tubines (Dukes of Hazzard rim) and the (8 lug) slots, but they seem quite difficult to find...are these the holy grail of 8 lug rims. Let's see those 8 lug rims. |

Re: 3/4 ton rims - 8 lug
I've got '06 2500HD take-offs on my truck. You have to buy conversion lug nuts(i got mine on eBay), and I think they look really good.

Re: 3/4 ton rims - 8 lug
Stock Wheels for me all the way. The first are from a 72 C-20. Those were the 16.5's. But the second are from a 71 K-20. These were 16" rims off a mid 80's chevy van, but the correct hub caps snapped right in!!!!!

Re: 3/4 ton rims - 8 lug
I just bought some chrome hubcaps and I am also going with a black rim behind them........
Where can I find a rim that would take the caps and a 35-12.5-16 or 16.5??? I would trade the slots with lugs for some 16 or 16.5 X 10's or 8's if it would work... that would accept the factory caps!!!!......lugs alone were $65.00!!!! A.........

Re: 3/4 ton rims - 8 lug
The widest STOCK rim from GM was 8.25 x 16.5 shown below with a 33 x 12.5 x 16.5 tire. The aftermarket rims like the ones I have shown above are 9.75 x 16.5 and there are some of them around with outer nubs for standard caps. Fewer around with inner nubs or clips.

Here is my 72 on newer factory alloys from Craigslist. The second picture is of the rear wheel caps I bought off of ebay.

Re: 3/4 ton rims - 8 lug
grovmister, Would those caps fit on a '68 3/4 ton 8-lug wheel? Does the '72 have the same 3/4 lug as the '68? I thought they changed at some point the series. Longhorn Man knows!!!!!!!!!!
