Has anyone used the wider rear wheels..
on their F250's. I've seen them on some F350 dentsides and I seem to remember seeing them on a bump years ago. I like the look. Do they fit on bumps without modifications? Are they 16's or 16.5's. Thanks, Chris.

If you're talking about the extra wide camper-special wheels, they will fit our trucks. They're 16.5's and IIRC 12" wide.

Back in the '70s when I was in high school. My buddy had a '72 w/ "camper special tires and wheels. It would kick up the back of the truck, and man would those things squall when they were spinning.

you can ford a river or stream and get to the other side, if you dodge it you will not, and if you drive a chevy to the levee it will run dry and the music will die.

I have had 12.00x16.5s. I haven't found any with the hubcap bumps except for the F-350 ones which take the larger studs I believe.
Great ideas have always encounter violent opposition from mediocre minds.
