My '78 F250 has the 16.5" 8 lug steel wheels which I think are about 9 or 10" wide, was there a factory wheel made that wide?

 

Yea I have a set laying around. I think they came off of some of the camper special 2wd trucks.

 

Yep. My F350s came with 16.5x9.75s in the rear

 

Thanks for the replies, I thought they were stock but I couldn't remember the width. What are they worth nowadays? I'm getting ready to go with new rims and tall skinny's.

 

My buddy who parts them out usually try's to give them away but usually scraps them. Most don't have interest in 16.5's in general nowadays. I keep mine around in hopes of using them someday.

 

I realize the 16.5's aren't used much anymore but mine have good 33" bfg a\t still mounted.

 

I had 33" BFG A/T T/As on my steel wheels. I transferred the tires onto my slotted mags and sold the wide wheels on eBay. Cost more to ship them than I got for them. I scrapped the narrower fronts

 

I have 8 of them laying around. Love the looks of steel wheels but can't find much for tires in 16.5's anymore. I'm buying 16's next time I buy tires.

 

I'm probably headed to 16's as well. My plan was to go with tall skinny tires on steel wheels along with a 4" skyjacker lift but with some of the neg. reviews on here lately about the skyjacker kits has me re-thinking that plan.
