16x10 wheels

I was offered 4 nice looking 16x10 wheels that will fit our 89 F350 Crew cab. They are a good price but me and my dad are worried that they won't fit (turning clearnence) and tire prices might be to much. I don't know what size I would need to run so first question is what size could I run on it the truck will be a D50 4x4 (converting to 4x4) front end and will stay stock. Second question is with those size tires could I fit without rubbing or anything like that.

You can put 33" x 12.5" tires on there without any clearance/rubbing issues. It may even fit 35" x 12.5" tires without any modification, but 33"s will be cheaper. The 33"s I've got on my 1988 F-350 run around $200 a piece plus shipping.

Nice, sounds good! Post a pic up of the wheels when you get a chance!

I'm picking up good looking 16.5" aluminum wheels next week with 38" Super Swampers at 35% tread for $250. Going to put 37" x 12.5" military Hummer take-offs on them and ten them on my truck as soon as I get my lift stuff straight.

I'm running 16" x 10" Raceline aluminum wheels right now with my 33"s. Love the wheels. I just need to 16.5" rims for the military 37"s.

You know, you might want to check those "Turbine" wheels and make sure they're not 16.5" rims. Most "Turbine" wheels that I run across are not 16" rims because they were minted back before 16's were popular.

Just sayin'

That's a good point. Now that you say it, it seems like that could be the case.

You better check out those wheels.

I did when I was there for sure I don't want 16.5s. Also I don't know for sure if we will be able to afford them.

They are most certainly 16.5 wheels, NOT 16". Unless they were free, leave they right where they are

Don't worry. You can still get tires for 16.5" wheels. BF Goodrich makes a 33" x 12.5" x 16.5" all terrain tire for $199, and a 35" x 12.5" x 16.5" all terrain tire for $223.
33" BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO Tires 30537 - SummitRacing.com
35" BFGoodrich All-Terrain T/A KO Tires 56149 - SummitRacing.com

Interco sells Super Swampers in many sizes for 16.5" wheels (33", 35", 38.5", +).

You can also buy military tires in 36" and 37" for 16.5" wheels.

Here's a link to all of the 16.5" tires that Summit sells: Tires - 16.5 in. Wheel Diameter - SummitRacing.com

Who would want any of those tires? Super Swampers SUCK for any on road driving and the BFs are flat out over priced.


TO the OP. Just spend your hard earned $$ on a wheels that you have some choices in tires.

What Brad said. You're going to pay an arm and a leg for Super Swampers, which, if you're lucky, will last 10k miles on road. Military tires are OK I suppose if that's all you're left with and the BFGs aren't worth paying for, much like 16.5" rims.

I've received 2 sets of 16.5" rims in the last 2 years from guys that have no idea what to do with them. Both of these sets of rims were chrome and looked brand new and they just gave them away. Think about it.

I sold one set that had decent tires on it, I'm putting the other set on my truck with 36" military tires because I plan on it seeing more off road than on road time in the coming months.

str8sixman no those are like them. Also I decided not to go with them for 2 reasons I came across a better deal for something for another truck and also because these are 16.5s you guys are saying I defiantly don't want those. By the way Brad I was gonna get BFG KOs if I got these wheels as I have had tons of luck with them.
