Re: stock wheel size on C20

When I got the truck originally it had Alcoas on 235/85/16 tires.

I wanted the same height tires, but a little wider treadwidth and I wanted to go back to steelies. I swear by Michelin tires, but Michelin doesn't make a 16.5 tire.
F*rd, Chevy and Dodge steel wheels all have the same 8 X 6.5 bolt pattern, and I found these F*rds on Ebay that were in nice, straight condition (just needed a nice white powdercoat job) so I went with them.
