Stock steelies

[jonathon]

I'm going to run stock style steelies on my V2500.. decided to go cheap and I think with fresh paint they will look nice.

Is there anything I need to look for so I can get a matching set, or did GM pretty much use the same wheel throughout production?

For that matter.. I've still got my original spare with the steel wheel. Would that be that same?

On my '90 V2500 Burb, the stock spare was a 16x6, I think, and the other four were 16x7. (Stock tires were 235-75-16 or something skinny.) It had the plastic snap-in covers:

So for any given year there are a few options of stock wheels, though it's also dependent on drivetrain. Assuming you're talking about your V2500 also, there may not be so many choices.

I know the rallys came in 5- and 6-lug, but I don't know about 8.

What you doing with your current wheels/tires? I think they look good on your rig.

Giving them to my grandpa, he likes them and I think they'll dress up his F250 pretty nice. I just like the look of plain, black steel.

Like these? (It's not my ad, just happened to see them prior to viewing your thread)

What about running your gramps rims assuming they are steel.I run 97 F350 bullet hole rims on my 91 V2500

Thinking out loud or with my fingers here. Wouldn't the backspacing on the stock steel rims be to much with larger tires. The ones in the craigslist add look like 5+" of backspacing or is the rim narrow enough to not really not matter much?
