New rims

Just posting a random picture of new rims and tires. Still working out all the bugs on the 460 rebuild, air injection delete, and Banks header install. But, hey, happy to have new rims and tires. Tire shop was sent incorrect center caps, so hopefully will have them next week. Truck runs and shifts great. Slight scraping/whirring noise still. But happy with the look. Not liking canopy look though. Thinking of a repaint on canopy, or possibly an upgrade. Money. Money. Money...

Looks good. I like those rims. What size of tires are those? It looks like the front bumper is spaced out slightly?

Similar to the stock Alcoa wheels. I like it. Are they American Racing wheels?

i think the cap would look better if the color matched the truck. It would be nice to have a dry & lockable storage place but most of the time it would be in my way.

Eeeeh, you don't need center caps! Just paint the hubs! That's what I did anyways, got some rust converter and som por 15 equivalent. Then I took the hub lock plastic and repainted it red. I wouldn't have anything else!


It's not the best picture, but you get the idea.

Tires are 265/75/16. You're right about how bumper looks. But it's stock. So maybe camera angle?

Center caps didn't fit rear hubs on my 94 F250 and were the only ones the wheel manufacturer made. I just used 1/2" wheel spacers to get the clearance.

They are wheels not rims. The rim is the outer circle where the tire is mounted.
Hopefully you can get the center caps. IMO, it looks unfinished without them.

I agree. Although, I am kinda liking the look of the front hubs just poking thru the WHEEL, without the cap. Lol. Will decide for sure once I get them on.

Honestly, no idea. It is all stock setup. I can measure later if you want?

Thanks. Pretty sure I found them, there are a couple size options. The stock steel with hubcaps leave a bit to be desired when it comes to filling the wheel well. Was curious if they increased track width. They are very good looking on our trucks and since finding an original set is near impossible they seem like a great alternative. A P/N would be great though. Thanks!
