On the C/10 Stepside w/292 L6, I run 235/85/R16 on 6 x 16 wagon wheels [ or ''white spokes.''] For over 20 years, I've been running these wheels. After a side impact collision [right rear], I looked around for a replacement wheel.
N/A. Nowhere.No one has them. So I paid a guy $80 to straighten out the wheel to ''true.''
Then, with the tire dismounted, I saw warning decals inside that this was a Trailer Wheel. And not to mount high speed 235/85 trires on them. Well after about 100,000 miles and 20+ years, I think they're just fine. So I looked for a Trailer Wheel in that size, and found one locally for $68.
Now that's my new right rear wheel, and the trued one will be the spare.
Originally the truck came with 7.00x17.5 bias tires on 5.25 x 17.5 rims. Unicorn shoes. But they were tall and lean. The 235/85/16 on 6x16 gets about the same ride height and stance.
