4X4 Deep Dish Rims

[87threequarterblue]

Does anyone know anything about the deep dish rims chevrolet used on the 3/4, 1 ton trucks around 1977-1979?  What sizes were they?
I heard some were 16.5 X 9.75 and some were 8.25.
I would like to find a set of these, if anybody has any ideas.

Thanks

I'd start looking at your local bone yard or tire shop.  Tire shops usually keep a lot of used stuff around......

My Truck came with these from the factory. On the option list it says there 16.5 X 9.75. My Uncle bought this Truck new and after a few years put on a set of 16.5 American Racing rims. He ended up giving away two of the deep dish rims. Now I only have three rims and I am looking for two more rims so I can put them back on the truck. I have hit three different Junkyards and have only seen the 16.5 X 6.5 rims.The next thing I was going to try is to contact a friend of mine who works as a wholesale manager for a Chevrolet dealer. He said if I give him the option code he can do a search at all the warehouses on the East coast to see if theres a rim collecting dust somewhere. I do have a picture of the Truck when new with the deep dish rims on it if you want to see what they look like.

Did you have any luck with your friend at the chevy dealer?
Or any more junkyards?

I'm still looking with no success.
