Default Deuce Wide Wheels Question
Is there any "W I D E" wheels available (without cutting and welding) that will fit the deuce?

I was told that ALCOA does not make wheels with the deuce pattern. Does any other truck use the 6 lug pattern wheel?

(yes I searched)
Thanks,
"G"

There are other trucks that use the 6 lug pattern but any wider I have not seen. Ford used a 6 lug on their 2 ton trucks Chevy did also.

TaylorTradingCo is an unknown quantity at this point
Default wide wheels
I assume you are talking about being wider than the 13" wide HMTT converted rims that are out there everywhere.

No not really. I would just like to safely run Michelin 395 tires (in the future) without spending $200+ for each wheel.

Reading through the various tire posts I get the impression it isn't safe. I like the stock wheels just fine.

You must run tubes with the split rims right?

Conductorx, truck wheel rims are VERY expensive. You will not find anything in your price range, unless you are in the right place at the right time. The ODIron rims and modded Hemtt rims are your best bet. Retail is $500+ for wide truck rims.

^ ODIron told me that due to current economic environment and sales they are not offering their wheels at this time.
