tire and wheel question

will 16.5 wheels fit in our trucks ??? or will it have brake caliper clearance issues?

thinking of getting these: 4 hummer military wheels rims tires 36/12.50-16.5 from eBay since they are very cheap.

These should be geat for winter and off road driving.

thanks.

No they will not fit a 3rd gen, at least the American Racing's from my old 97 F350 didn't. Bolt pattern is the same but there are caliper issues.

As mentioned, the 16.5" wheels will not fit.

Some members have even reported had problems with some 17" wheels clearing the calipers. I have a set of 17" wheels and they're a close fit. The tire shop I go to can only apply a single layer of stick on weights for balancing, otherwise the weights rub on the calipers.
