I’m looking for some stock steel wheels and i found a nice set from an 85 4x4. Are these the same?
what was the original size and backspacing? 15x6.5?

 

Idk if theyre the same but they should have the same backspacing as theyd have been on the same axle. Pics?

 

A set of 4, have been in storage for years and no rust. These were removed from an 85

 

So can anyone confirm that these wheels from the ‘85 are the same as for the ‘79-‘83?

 

Those look like RWD to me

 

Nope, these wheels are for a 4 Wheel Drive Truck because of the six wheel stud holes. 2 Wheel Drive Trucks only have five holes.

 

So were the ‘79-‘83 the same part number as the ‘84-‘85?

Would these be what came stock on an ‘82 deluxe?

 

you are correct my good sir I have 2wd 82

 

those are the stock rims without beauty rings on my 82 dlx Rwd

 

The new owner of my '83 also wanted original white steelies for the truck. He could NOT find any--anywhere. He wound up having some steelies custom made, somewhere in Texas. Considering how many of these were around back in the day, I wonder what happened to all of them.

 

Are these original steel wheels to this model? I don’t see clips for hubcaps but I don’t want hubcaps anyway

 

Hey, nice truck. How did you attach the side rails on the bed? Those look pretty slick.

 

This is only a 5.5” wide wheel correct? Or is it 6”?

I’m wanting to run tall skinny’s on them. What’s the widest tire for this wheel? I’d like to run 31x9.5 or 33x9.5, but realizing the poor selection in narrow tires I might have to go to 10.5” wide tires. Would that work on these?
