What brand wheel did you end up going with? It's nice they bolt right on to the ten lug 225 lug pattern and they look great. Those trucks have a pretty big wheel opening and you filled it up nice.

They look great! I still may go to an alloy wheel on my '53 someday. Right now I have 265/70R19.5s on Ford steel 6.75" wheels. My Toyos are 34.4" tall, which isn't bad, but It would look better with a 36" tall tire.

This is the matching spare I just bought.

Are your 22.5" tires about 36" tall?

The new ones are probably closer to 38" then. I think the F-600s on up and the C-600s

on up have a larger wheel opening than the 500s. I don't think my C-500 fender opening is that long.
It's hard to tell in this one though.
