'94 B350

This thing was in dire need of some new tires when I picked it up recently so I decided to upgrade. Hopefully this post helps others in deciding and trying to verify fitment. Wheels/tires bolt right up and clear the control arms, tie rods, and just barely clear the brake calipers. I'm talking like .020 -.030 clearance. Caveat to this setup is you will have to cut the lip on the fenderwell all the way around and the trailing edge of the bumper or it will rub. Took about 45 mins with an angle grinder and a few cutoff wheels, with a rotary tool to clean up the burrs. Attached pics will give you everything you need to know.

 

nice...
I run 265/70/15 on the stock wheels :lol:

are the wheels aluminum?

 

Yes, the wheels are aluminum and much lighter than the factory steelies.

One thing I should have mentioned is you'll need to run aftermarket 1/2-20 lugs as the factory ones will not fit in the bores of the new wheels. Plus, new lugs will complete the look. I ended up buying two sets of 20 (for the 32 total needed) .

 

I just read your profile and see what van you have. I also have a 1500 and want to go a little bit bigger. Do the 265/70 rub? Lifted? I'm thinking of just going up 16s with a slightly taller and wider 245/75
