Single 16.5 rim for spare tire

[Scott F.]

Looking for a 16.5 wheel 8 on 6.5 lug pattern. Need it to mount a spare 37" on. Can be steel or alum anywhere from 3-5 inch backspace, 7-8" wide or so. Any stock wheel of a 1 ton will work.

If no one has one laying around I will probably go grab one from a junk yard.

Or if you have a complete tire/wheel combo 8 on 6.5 pattern in 37-40" range that would work too.

I think I have a 16.5 out back I'll look and see. It came off a dodge 2500

Great, thanks for looking.

If your going to go on the open ride in Helen on the 26th we can hook up.. Say $25 for the rim and tire. I'll take a pic tonight when i get home of it for ya

I won't be able to make the Helen ride. What size is the tire? I was going to grab a  cheap 37 hmmwv tire to throw on the rim. I need at least a 37 to be close enough to my 40's to use as a trail spare.

Well it is turning out to be harder to find a 16.5 than I thought. All the junkyards in the area have none.  Looks like my only options now are to go with a H1 wheel and figure out what to do about the backspacing should I need to use the spare (buy a spacer) or buy a new 16.5 steel wheel. I really hate to buy a new wheel just to use for the spare tire but by the time I get an h1 and a 2" spacer I will probably have spent just as much money as the new steel wheel.

Let me check if I have any spacers. I had to run them with my H1s to clear the high steer arms. Let me check for ya and I will let them go for stupid cheap.

Great, yea if you have a spacer, I would definitely be interested in buying that along with one of the H1 rims from you.

There's a 16.5" on Craigslist that I saw yesterday with a 32" tire.

Maybe this will help ya: http://atlanta.craigslist.org/nat/pts/3541169630.html
