Wow that’s narrower than I thought. I’m torn between Wagon Wheels (15x7) or OEM wheels with hubs (which are narroe). I’ll have to check pictures of 30 x9.5 x 15 on the OEM factory rims as I’m leaning towards hub caps. Maybe someone can post?
Thanks

Can’t quite remember. But I think they were 30”. Maybe 31”.

The full wheel hub caps will fit wagon wheels. I had a set on some 15x8s at one time. I just didn't have the ones for the front with the holes for the lockouts. And they do scratch up the wheels pretty good. But they do hide the scratches.

If you run the full caps on wagon wheels (greater than 5.5" width) the locking hubs will be inset and not flush with the cap centers. They work but look funny.

The F450 (pulling a single jet ski at the lake last weekend) had the front hubs recessed into the duelly wheel. So not that unusual.

>> Ford had 15 x 6" OEM wagon wheels available from late '77 to '83ish.... they called them "painted styled steel".... little harder to find these days ,but good sets are still out there... I even stumbled across 1 NOS spare wheel just last year.... easy way to spot older Ford OEM truck wheels is the 3 bolt pattern for the center caps... speaking of centers, these factory wagon wheels seem more durable with thicker centers than lots of the aftermarket wagons..... originalwheel.com may have some, part #1090 , $90 >> http://originalwheel.com/ford/trucks/f-100/filter/year-1978.html...below is a pic of mine with 30x9.50s before the 1" body lift​
