Your 17.5 wheels are desirable so don't scrap them. The 8 lug pattern is the same used through 1997 HD pickups, so your wheel choice will be pretty much endless. Are you looking for stock or custom?

Hey, thanks for answering. I am just looking for some different tires. So i can use 16 inch wheels and tires from the years you mentioned? Also when i bought the truck a couple of weeks ago the whole front clip is off. Do you know how to put it back together. Maybe have a diagram or something i cant find anything on line. Thanks and have a great day
