Re: Hub caps on steelie wheels for 8 lug axles. Wheel and tire question

yes the ford standard 16x7 8-6.5 lug should fit your axles, I just had a dozen virgin spares blasted and powder coated.. I think trucks changed to a metric wheel 1999 and vans up to 2010ish.. but please don't quote me, check hub fitment is best



yes there is a tall narrow radial tire that fits them, SSR-41R 35x10.5R16LT Super Swamper Radial TSL/SSR

I just spoke to Joey at Interco last week and although 8" rim width would be ideal, 7" are in range but might crown a little, have to pay attention to wear and mind inflation.. but since I have the wheels he recommended I try them and figured I would likely be happy with them..

if you're going with 8" 82 series wheel vintiques, you'll be right in the sweet spot for those tires..

$130 16x8 in black powder coat but I believe they will powder coat white and custom offset for small fees..

this is a later model ford 16x7 with the SSR-41R to get an idea of fitment.. had a tough time finding pictures of that tire on 16x7 but these look just right to me..

I'm looking to replace these 36" STA Super Lugs on my K20 Burb

hope that helps - good luck!
