Default Re: 17 inch split rim replacment

Depending on your drums, some 16" wheels won't clear them. There were two drum sizes in the later flathead years. If you fit 16" wheels you could run 255 85 16s. Tall and narrow about 33.5 dia. Another option some 8 lug dodge wheels were available in the late 90s, early 2000s. Then run 7.50 x 17s.
