new wheel size Q

Post by prime mover »

I'm looking at new 16" american racing wheels for my 70 F-250 2WD does any body know which would work better 7" or 8" wide, most listed have 41/2 backspace.

I'd go with the 8" width for more tire selections unless you like running skinny tires.

Decide what tires you want to run then buy wheels to put them on your truck. IMHO
