16.5x10 6lug aluminum slot mags. Have some 33x12.5 Bfg All Terrains on them, but they are basically rollers. 3 have decent tread. One the tread is separating, all have cracks between the tread blocks. Have 4.5" backspacing. Will include correct shank style lug nuts/washers, have some rust/pitting on them but could clean up. Looking for $300/obo. Prefer not to ship. If I did, I'd dismount the tires and sell only the wheels (rather not deal with that at this time though). Willing to drive/meet a few hours away though. Located in Auburn, MI 48611.

That's what is hurting the sale of these, and preventing me from keeping them. Add to the fact that lug nuts don't exist to run these on a 14x1.5 stud (could have the wheels machined for larger ones, but that's a cost I don't want).

If someone had a set of 33-36 Tsl's or Boggers in 16.5....these would be perfect for that if you wanted to stay half ton.
 
I read years ago in a mag . there was a rim refurb company that would machine and press in steel insert with tapered reg style seat to convert these older rims .

lots of newer factory stuff does this already .

I don't know why so many are afraid of 16.5 . . . interco / swamper still has lots of options . and I have not had problems with my 16.5 tires .

You can get lugs for those. The 99 'hoe I sold had western style wheels, and used that shank style lugnut with the washer....

I've tried looking for lug nuts for them. The wheels currently have a 6.875 (11/16) hole. The smallest diameter I could find that fit a 14x1.5 stud are just under 3/4 at .740. There just isn't enough room for the shank with that size stud in that size hole. If there was a nut that fit, I'd be worried that the wall would be so thin it would flex/strip easiy. Machining to a larger hole would be simple, just not something I want to invest time/money into.

Quick picture

 
Where can you buy 14mm shank lugs? I couldn't find any in the past, so I converted my 14sf to long 1/2" studs.

Not by choice...lol.

I'd be willing to drive to meet up for a little travel money. I'm about 2.5hours from Toledo.

Are weekdays or weekends best for you? Might be able to work something out.

You posted as I was writing my reply above. Summit has all sorts of 14mm shank lug nuts, just not any with the correct diameter. I looked on Ebay, Jegs, Discount Tire, etc... I really did want to use these wheels, even if it was just as rollers for now.

I'm normally out of work around 3pm. Have Thursday and Saturday off. Send me a message and I can go into more detail about exact times that work for me as I have a few things going on at 7pm some nights.

I can relay them south if @toomany can get them to the A2 area and @USSkoval isn't in a rush. I'm sure we will wind up at the Toledo Zoo w/in the next 30 days.

Last I knew he was still interested...just couldn't find a time we both had free to get together. Still avalible.
 
I'm not home now, so now I just need to find out when my wife could make the drive up. I won't be home for at least a couple weeks I don't think.
