IIRC, the 8.00-16.5 was a 28.4” tire, so I’m about .8” taller, but I don’t remember how much wider I am. I went with factory Dodge and Ford dually steel wheels that I got from the tire shop down the road. Once I cut the locating pins off of the brake drums, the Ford duallys fit perfect.
How are you locating them on center? They are lug-centric coined wheels from the factory. That is why I went with a D350 donor, since it had 16 inch wheels, yet retained the coined pattern and locating pin setup.
The only thing those pins did was a line up both dual wheels, to ensure that the coins matched up. My new 16” wheels are still coined, so I just match the pinholes up. The only reason I cut the original pins, is because the Ford pinholes do not match up the way the Dodge pinholes do. Everything is still centered and works as it should
