Re: Who Want's Pizza?!!
The old steel wheels look really good. If I ever switch my aftermarkets off it will be for a good set of originals with hubs... if they could be found.

Re: Who Want's Pizza?!!
Got some pizza for the V3500 today. The may-pops that came on it needed to go. Snow is not far away. First pic is a new 255/85r16 cooper st on a 6" wide steel wheel next to a new 32x11.50r15 bfg at on an 8" wide aluminum rim. The 255 is about 1.5" taller.
The coopers ride great and are quiet. The speedo is also spot on now. I really like the way they look. I need to find two more rear hub caps that match the front. Rears that are on it came off a '74 I parted out (along with the wheels) and fronts I found at the pick and pull today, but were off a GMC.

Re: Who Want's Pizza?!!
That's a nice set-up for that truck. What kind of shape are those rear caps? I think I have a pair of 76-91 Chevy caps I'd trade.

Re: Who Want's Pizza?!!
Awesome tires. I am on the 2nd set for my Dodge, which has 6 1/2" wide wheels. Also had to try bolting them on a '72 K20.

Re: Who Want's Pizza?!!
I mounted up these 255s this spring and have been running them. They have a hum that I don't care for, but otherwise they are smooth. Good luck finding them, Wildcats aren't made anymore...that I know of.

Re: Who Want's Pizza?!!
They look like they'd be a great road tire. I'm surprised they hum. Nice truck. I may be putting together an '85 work truck,but probably run 285/75s,just because they are more common
