Thanks everyone. But I’m afraid if I go any wider or with a different offset they will rub the tie rod. There’s maybe a quarter inch of room there now with the stock wheels that I’m borrowing off of my ‘77. You can’t even put a wheel weight on the inside or it will hit

I would use balance beads instead of wheel weights so you won't have to hammer those wheel weights on you new wheels. Ken

What beads are you using? What kind of weight per tire?

Hey tugross 302 dig them 16" out of the junk pile and I will buy them from you!

I just ran out to the shop that did my sand blasting. I found 1 of the 16” wheels that I threw away a year and a half ago. He must’ve already scrapped the other three

I bought my balance beads from local tire dealer Les Scwab. 8 oz per wheel for 315/75 R16 tires. May need less with smaller tires.

1977 here.

The tie rod will knock off the wheel weight, with 15x7- 3.75 BS.

I run 16X7- 4.5 BS , 2004-06 Ford E150 Steel Van wheels with no problems,no spacers. You have to devise your own hubcap or run the pop on lugnut ones. Id almost bet the would fit under an uncut truck.

I order them online and the amount you use depends on tire size. Ken

I’ll bring it to SC. Remind me and it’s yours. No guarantees that it is the correct one
