I'm asking a really stupid question so here goes. The 73/79 trucks that are equipped with dual rear wheels they have a extension on the front hub to accept the wheel. The question is all six steel wheels are the same, and should fit anywhere on the truck? So a wheel on the rear with fit the front just turned around backward? Thank you for understanding my dumbness.
Not a dumb question, but yes - all 6 are the same. There are several advantages to having them all identical. Load distribution, tire wear (being able to rotate 6 instead of 4) and also if you have multiple blowouts, you can still run on 4 to get home (learned that first hand!).
Also, if the tires/wheels were different, it would affect the load distribution and could be hazardous to haul/tow heavy loads with.
Hi all, old thread but a lot of great information. Did anyone ever find a solution? I’d also like to move to a 17” wheels on my 2015 E350 class c, but can’t find an option.
I’m doing a 6” lift and re-gearing to 4.88 for a 33” tire, but there are only mud terrain tires in the 16” wheel size and I’d much rather have an all-terrain.

Why I need a lift!
