Negative offset rims for a 65'
Searched for a long time trying to find a previous post about this but couldn't find one, so if there's one that I missed, post the link please.
I have the twin I beam suspension on my 65' f100. I am going to run a 4 inch lift for it, but am wanting to run some rims with a large negative offset. Does anyone know of a company that makes rims for these year trucks with like -45 offset rims? I want the tires to stick out from the side of the truck several inches.

Either a 15x 8 or 16x 8. Preferably 16's.

15x8 with a -45 offset is around 2.75 b.s. there are a few steel wheels on summit in a 15x8 with either 2.5 or 3.00 inch backspace
couldn't find any 16x8 in my quick search
5x5.5 is 139.7 in metric if that helps you search

To each their own, but of course the spindles on these trucks were not designed for a large negative offset wheel so you will likely be putting a good amount of extra stress on the spindles and bearings if you go that route.

Yes, lots of stress. However this is going to be a weekend truck, so it isn't going to see many miles 👍🏻. Guess I'll just have to see how she holds up.
