Hi guys just picked up these steelies for my truck, they only cost me 60 for all of them! They are 17's and measure 9 inches wide at their widest. I currently have bf goodrich all terrain t/a's on my stock rims they are lt 265/70 r17's. Will they fit on these rims? Also where can i go to find center caps for these rims. Dont have to be anything fancy ill prolly just paint them black. Im going to do the torsion bar thingy tomorrow and if everything goes right ill have these mounted and on so i can show pics for yall.

Those are Cragar Series 397 Soft 8 Black powdercoat wheels. New at Summit Racing they go for $59.95 a piece.

I am currently debating between the Chrome Series 398 Soft 8 ($89.95) or Eagle Alloys Series 058 for $129.95 a piece.

The Eagle Alloys have my vote.

Most 265/70 R17 tires are rated for a 7" to 9" wheel width. 8" wide is best, but 9" will work fine.
