I’m also learning about the backspacing. I think I’m going to be ok with the rims I got, but they are close to the sway bar. There is a inch difference. The old rim looks to be about 5 inches offset/ backspaced, the new one is 6”. But, if it’s not touching I guess it’s ok… right? Also I don’t...- sammykristoff

Well let the learning begin. I hope that buying new lug nuts will fix it. Also is the boar of the rim supposed to center the wheel or do the lugs do it?had to see but there is a pretty large gap around the hub. The old lugs don’t fit in the new rims.- sammykristoff

Ok everyone I found some 17x7.5 on the market place and some cheap Firestone tires that I think will fit on it. What do you think?- sammykristoff

Right! I’m financially not in the best spot right now, and my “hobby” truck just became my daily driver. Long story but I will be keeping the 16.5 rims for a later date. As of now Winter is coming and my tires are actually dangerous.- sammykristoff

Very nice! Because of all the help here I’ve been looking at used rims on Facebook market. I’m starting to feel a little more confident on what I can get (I think lol). But I’ll definitely be using that calculator! Thank you!- sammykristoff

I honestly don’t care to much about the size of the tire. I really just want it to be affordable. The tires that I’m finding for my rim now are around $400 dollars each. I’m hoping I can be around the $200 price range. But this seems like a good way to go about it so I will be doing more...- sammykristoff

Right on! I think that looks great. I’m assuming you get decent prices and options for that size as well. How wide is your rim?- sammykristoff

17s sound good to me. Would you maybe know anymore spec’s on rims?besides 8 lug 6.5 bolt circle. I think my rim currently is a 10.5 wide. If I go thinner would that be weird?ps. I’m actually having a hard time finding rims outside of 7-8 inches wide.- sammykristoff

I guess the manual would only tell me what stock is. Not what all my choices could be. I imagine I could get the best deal on stock size tires though. Anyway I really appreciate the quick response and welcomes. I can see my self spending some time here. Is this a good place to buy/sell parts as...- sammykristoff

I guess what I really need to get is a manual. I know that it’s 8 lugs with a 6.5 bolt circle. But I don’t know the hub bore size. Or what all the offsets mean. I’m looking at rims on summit racing and there’s just so many options. I really don’t even know how wide the rim should be.♂️- sammykristoff

I came here because I recently bought a 78 k20. Im kinda new to working on trucks. And I’m hoping to be able to find some answers here. My truck currently has 33x12.50 R16.5 tires on it. Those tires seem to be very expensive. What I’m looking for is what size rims I can put on this that...- sammykristoff
