Title: Deep Dish 16.5
Post by: kentuckyplow on March 11, 2008, 03:33:31 am

I am looking for a set(4) of 16.5 X 9.75 deep dish 8 lug wheels.  I believe that they came stock on some Camper Specials, but I'm not sure.  They use the same hubcaps as my 87.  they seem to be hard to find.  Anybody know of a source for these?
Thanks.

I would honestly skip the 16.5" wheels unless you are trying to do an accurate restoration.

Very few tire companies are still producting 16.5 tires.  Plus the 16.5 was the rim without a safety bead on the inside. So any loss of air pressure results in a tire losing a bead.
