Just by seating your tire beads like this - Dennis, your either crazier or dumber than me...Im not sure which, yet....

 

I think I found the problem with the weight.

I was looking at the specs for the tire and noticed it's not supposed to be mounted on a rim narrower than 7.5 inches ... mine are the stock 6.5's ... oops! No worries, I am looking at a set of Eagle 187's, 16x8, which I should have by the weekend. Here's a pic:



and in black, if I can afford them:



What do you think?

 

Dennis, you'll appreciate this ... I changed my mind again ... what a surprise!

I ordered some American Racing Outlaw II's, 16x8, this afternoon and should have them by the weekend ... what do you think?

 

How ya gonna fit 5 bolt wheels on your 3/4 ton??

Sorry for the lack of links...4 computers...had to figure out where they were I see you already bought...oh well, Ill post them anyway:

Thanks for the links, Shane, I appreciate it.

I just received confirmation that the wheels will be here Thursday. I couldn't beat the deal; all four wheels for $289 plus $75 shipping. The cheapest I found them locally was $505 plus tax.

As far as those balancing beads are concerned; do you think I can buy them locally?

We use Goodyear to maintain some of our city vehicles (tires, oil changes, etc.), so I'm going to hit them up this week to see if they'll do a "good buddy" price for fitment.

 

Okay, I ordered the balancing beads and they'll be here Thursday. Shane, I hope you're right about these things, sounds too good to be true. I'll let you know how things go.

 

WoW, that's a great price on those rims. Keep that shop book marked, I'm gonna be wantin the same thing here pretty soon.

These guys had the best deal around!

 

Lookin at the site and just happen to think, did you check to make sure these things are weight rated high enough for our trucks. Alot of the alluminum rims aren't. Just somethin more to think about

 

Yeah, I made sure it was. If you go onto American Racing's website, there's an application chart. You punch in the specs of your vehicle and it tells you which wheels fit your vehicle. I also told the people at Tomzwheels that it was a diesel and they said the wheels would work fine.
