Wheels for 235 85r16

Went to put tires on my Micky Thompson wheels and they're about 10" deep.. couldn't get my new tires on so I ended up putting on some tourings I had. Does anyone know if these would work with the tire size I have for mudders?

Part Number: 555-681035


That the number at JEGS.

Let me know of if anyone has some suggestions!!

235/85R16 fit best on 6" or 6.5" wide wheels. 7" is better suited to 245-285. 8" fits more like 265-315 wide.

The factory 1st gen 235/85R16 tires come on 6 inch wide rims from the factory.

235x85s were a factory option? Never realized that.

No, factory stock on SRW 1stgens.

Earlier tires were probably some kind of 16.5" or inch sizes like 7.00 or 7.50R16.

These wheels do not fit…. Tire fit fine though. The hole in the middle was about 1/8” off but the major issue was the dana 60… it tapers to a 15.5” wheel in the back so isn’t a true 16” inner dia… ugh.. if anyone had some old stock wheels let me know.. I’m at my wits end with this.. 2nd set and three weeks of waiting.

Sounds like a Chevy wheel you got (center hole too small). The brake thing is a puzzler. Maybe a really old wheel from front drum brake era? Chevy used the same big rotors/calipers as Dodge on the kingpin Dana 60.

If you want 'stock' type wheels that are a touch wider, look for F250/350 wheels '92-97 or so. They are 16x7" and fit dodge hubcabs. The inch extra is to the outside. E250/350 wheel is the same, but probably used from like '92-2010.

Yeah, I called JEGS and they have a set for $50 a pop powder coated. I'm still in Upstate NY (Potsdam). I just need to get these wheels sent back because I have $700 tied up =(
