Ah, so you wanted to see some 17 inch tires mounted on 16" rims? That would be impressive!

Yea haha I have seen the resulting carnage when dumb kids mount 16.5's on 16's or vice versa, and it's not pretty!

Ok....I'll say that you're fortunate to have found a set of those wheels. Here's a question about them...what is largest tire to fit on those w/o rub on control arms or fender? Just a random thought.

I sold my set when I went up to 33" Dick Cepek FC II.

Not really sure, I mainly got them to make the truck look original ...you don't see many with ORE wheels around any more. I picked them up off of C L for $200.00 for the set. Right now I have General Grabber A/T 2 tires 265-70's on them, I suppose if gas ever gets to a reasonable price again I'll go with larger/wider tires but I'm happy with this set up right now. I have a 2" leveler up front also so I'd have to do a little research to find the biggest I could go to without rub as it sits now.
