Re: Wheel / Rim Help
Those old daisy's are cool. Are they magnesium? 4" on a 7" rim is generally 0 offset, so those will push the rim out 3/8" or so. Probably fine in the back but I think you'll want to measure up front and it's going to depend on the tires you get front and back.
205/65's should fit the truck with those rims, but don't take my word for it, measure. May be able to go wider.

Re: Wheel / Rim Help
Im pretty sure those will work, I had measured my available backspacing once but I didn't write it down. Most 7 " rims will work, 8 inch rims can get close to making the tires rub the fenders depending on the offset.

Re: Wheel / Rim Help
Thanks for the info. I haven't had time to measure the backspace. I can pick these up for $350, if they work I will just need new tires. The truck has been lifted/raised a bit, and the wheel wells have been trimmed out in the past, so there should be tons of room height wise. They may be worth picking up for that money. I can get them restored a bit, they are 30 year old. And he does have brand new center caps.

Re: Wheel / Rim Help
They probably will work based on what you said. That price Im guessing is a fair/high market value. But then again I don't know they may be worth 1000 dollars? If you like them the thing is I don't think you can get new ones like that?
