Thanks for the link, I was trying to find him in the members list but I have a vision problem and my eyes hurt after going through all those names, I am glad I got a reply I have been wanting to finish my truck and wheels brings me one step closer. What if he doesn't know how else could I get theose numbers?

[heep70]

If no one here know you will have to do some research with tire shops. I would suspect he has a pretty good idea what they are.

Two weeks no reply and know one else has replyed to my topic can anyone just tell by looking or making a educated guess.

[heep70]

I tried to PM him also and he hasn't replied.

They looked to be stock chrome wagon wheels. 15" x 10" rear and 15" x 8" front.

Look at Cragar and American Racing wheels. They look like an aftermarket chrome wagon wheel.

Thanks greg but would it matter as far as what wheel you buy or those measurements strickly for that particular wheel on his truck. Summit has wheels exactly like that but the question is will your predicted sizes apply to any wheel in general? I want that exact wheel and space if your measurments are correct all i need to do now is order right? I appreciate your help in this but don't want to pay return shipping on these items if it's wrong. I have no clue about wheel sizes just want the exact same look. Wouldn't it be easy just adding or subtracting to the original rim measurements on my truck, there the originals Iam the second owner.
THANK YOU...

Don't think I forgot about you THANKS AMIGO you nailed them those are the wheels I want just need some numbers to and sizes to order...... congrats on the new born

Hey Gonzalo!

If you are going to use the 31 x 10.5 x 15's that you talked about previously then you'll want to go with a 15"x 8" rim with the standard offset.

Almost any tire out there will look it's best on an 8" wide rim.

Hope this sheds some light onto your project.

Thanks lawrence I did run those 31-all terrain tires I spoke of I got all four with 80% tred for $100 my friend seen them in a tow yard that were off a rollover vehicle. I put them on my 70 f-100 and fit perfectly with no rubbing but I am fixing up a 72 and on this one I want the street style look so greg is helping me out figure out the size of rims (jlona) is running on his 72 f-100 I want the exact look but he hasn't responded.

WAIT A MINUTE: doesn't 1bad71 have the wheels I want or am I just seeing things.

[heep70]

Yes, he does. http://www.fordification.com/forum/prof ... file&u=439

I couldn't tell ya what if any the offset is on the rims of either vehicle.

See if have any luck contacting 1bad71f100.

I am losing count of all the times I have thanked you but I really do appreciate the help. I would take the truck to a wheel place but the nearest one where I am at is in the main city I live in the country side and how gas is Iam sure you understand. I'd rather just order from summit with the numbers.... my truck gets probably 7-8 miles per gallon and I am on a strict budget due to school, so sneaking in wheels right now requires patience and driving the 4.0 jeep only

[heep70]

No problem. Sorry i can not answer you more specifically. Keep diggen.
