Somehow I always end up doing things the hard way.I could have bought 16" Eight Spokes and Mud Terrains but instead spent months scouring Ebay and the like for a set of 16.5" Period Alloys for my Jeep.I am told they came off a Chevy K30 but fits mine just fine,a little tight in the rear arches but I could roll the inner lip if needed,and yes I left the Locknuts at home this morning.

Size is 16.5"x 8.25" Eight Lug with 9.50" x 16.5" Firestones...Do I get a prize for rarity? :D

They really change the way it looks.

The Truck has been with me since 2009 and is an old friend,it used to come to the Garage I worked at in Tonbridge back in the 80's picking up scrap cars for a local yard,when I eventually got my hands on it it had been transformed from Junkyard Dog to Shiny Truck,it has suffered a bit over the last few years though and really needs parts of the rear body sorting.
