pic request: White 8 spoke "wagon" wheels

[dodgeb1b]

I have seen a few trucks on here with white 8 spoke rims and the look is growing on me. I'm kinda sitting on a fence: stock 16.5s (what a PITA to find tires!) or just go with some 16" 8 spokes with a set of ATs for my 69 w200. I want to keep the stock look but the 8 spokes are kinda the period thing to do and it would let me get a bit wider and taller (due to availability) tire under it. I've got 4.88 gears and would love to go with a 33" tire to make it a little better on the road. right now I've got mix and match 8.75 x 16.5s and traffic piles up when I drive to work at a cool 55 mph! So lets see 'em! Any input on backspacing and tire size would be much appreciated!

I have some 15 by 10's on my power wagon, and 16 by 8's on my half ton power wagon. I also have a set of 15 by 8's that are not on a truck right now, I ruined one of them, 4 inch backspacing is what they are.




too much snow in this picture, but it is all I have of the 16 inch combo'd truck....

here are 16s on my step dads 73 Power wagon and 15s on my 65 sweptline.

huh, I kinda thought that 15"s would not fit. by the looks of it they will. Thats a plus, I can still (for now, but its getting harder) find cheap 15" tires and that will keep the wife happy! thanks for the pics!
