The wide rear wheels have been on the truck since the 70's, they are Kelsey Hayes 9.75x16.5's, the fronts are the original split rim 16.5 as is the spare. This camper has been with this truck since 1978 (the camper is a 71).Stockton wheel now remakes the KH 9.75x16.5 wheels but the tires are not cheap! The wheels are extra heavy duty for campers, I think they come wider too. I added the front mounted spare, My grandfather had a blue '72 Camper special and it had a front mounted spare so I put the spare up there on this one.
