I bought a set at the JY and learned a couple things:
1. the backspacing is off 1/4 from stock dodge steelie. Meaning 1/4 farther to the inside. Looks fine on the 8510 gvwr W250 trucks (all Cummins), but stupid on the gasser 7510 GVWR trucks
2. They weigh 19 lbs compared to 35 for the steelie dodge
3. safest thing to do is a 9/16 stud- but finding one that fits is something I've not accomplished yet.

Are we talking about the Ford/Alcoa 16x7 wheels from the Ford OBS trucks?

I run the plain steel 16x7 version of the same wheel on the back of my D250. The offset may be 1/4" different, but the extra inch is to the outside... which helps to widen the stance on our trucks a bit. I use 285/75R16s.
