I have 90's s econoline wheels on my Camper Special and they have the tabs for hub caps. Measured them the other day ; 16x7" and 4.5" backspace. Wheel Vintiques makes steelie 8 bolt wheels in 7, 8, and 10 inch widths, thinking about upgrading to 8" wide for a deeper dish and keeping my hub caps. Check em out, called series 82 wheels, seems a pile of the Chevy guys are running them.

Didn't know if you were still looking for a set of steel wheels or not, but I have an original set of 16" 8 lug steel wheels off of my 1969 F-250 with older good condition bias ply tires. I can get you pictures if you like, let me know. Thanks.

Sorry for the hijack, 1974F26. If you go with a set of steel wheels, let me know, I have a decent set of 8-lug factory hub caps you can have...a few dings and scratches, but still quite nice. Somewhere on here, there is a thread on how to cut the center out of the front caps (just like in red's photo) for your hubs. They end up looking great.

The caps that I have are the earlier style shown in post #48. You are welcome to them, but you would probably be better off looking for that exact style you show in your pic.

If you look at post #33 you will see that the center has to be cut out on these for the lock out hub. They never made these to be put on a 4x4. I do believe that the later style caps you show can be found with the proper hub hole in them from the factory.

Did these only come in 16.5"? Secondary question is there aftermarket wheels similar to this in a different size? Like 17" so I could actually find tires?
