My 85 K10 diesel has eagle 16" aluminum alloy wheels. I run 265/75R16 10 ply tires. They look great on the truck. My problem is my slide-in camper. It weighs 1100 lbs. The truck can handle the weight fine with the 3/4 ton springs front and rear. It is the thicker alloy wheels that bother me. The wheel nuts catch 1/2 inch of threads max. Maybe a 1/2 inch is fine. I don't know. I think steel wheels would be thinner and stronger giving me more thread depth on the wheel nuts. I don't know what came stock on 85 K10's. Can't seem to find a definitive answer. Does anyone have any experience with campers and wheel selection? Am I worried about nothing ? Any info or thoughts would be much appreciated .
