Man that thing looks awesome with those on it. The 16.5 were a plus for me because my truck came with 4 brand new 9.50x16.5s already on it. The turbines I just bought are either 8 or 9" wide they aren't the real big ones so it'll be perfect! until i need tires anyway....

Here's another set I found. These are in the Cincinnati area. A little different style but they have been blasted and powder coated!!

Old style 16.5 x 9.75 hurricane wheels

Sorry, I have been gone for a few days. No, they don't just bolt up. You have to enlarge the center hole to clear the rear hubs, and buy bulge lug nuts. I used a router bit to open the holes, and got the lug nuts of ebay for $27 shipped.

Found these....PM sent on the 1st pic set to 73ferd about them

Second pic/set is like the $400 ones noltingc81 found, but he is asking only $160 OBO for all 4.

And here are some other ones....

Thanks. The tires that came with the truck are in good shape, with a fair amount of tread left. They are 10.5 wide on 9 wide wheels

And i likr the look of those hummer wheels... Too bad they'd need enlarging

Those look EXACTLY like my Jackmans did before powdercoat

The enlarging was actually pretty cheap and easy to do. I used a flush trim router bit and went to town. Something like a $12 fix. Of course, if you don't have a router...

User name

I used to do a lot of scuba diving, and at the end of the dives everyone would be low on air, but I'd still have 1/2 a tank. They said I used air like a woman and ended up calling me Girlielungs.

Or you can breath thru your ears......that's a punch line of a joke, I just can't remember the first half, sorry I had to. JK welcome to the FTE club.

But that's a good way to get a nickname, especially if you do that underwater cave splunkin. Not for me, no way, no how, I could not even think about doing that stuff.

So is "Scuba Steve" your idle, JK again dang and I'm sober, oh yea I haven't drank alcohol for over a year.

Again welcome and sorry for the little picking on ya. I'm the guy that heckles the comedian just to get them going.
