Re: stock wheel size on C20

People use the Ford wheels because they are wider at 7" and they are the last of the traditional steel wheels for hubcaps,which makes then easier to find. The GM 16" wheels are 6". The 16.5s were 7" but the tires were a shorter profile. That truck you started off showing has the GM wheels with 235/85-16s.
