I bought mine from www.bamwholesaleparts.com last year. I think prices have gone up a little since August. I went with Kenda Klever R/T KR601, 35x10.50R17LT 121R tires. From a driving experience,I can't tell I went up in size. And these are a very quiet and comfortable tire so far.
I used 1.5 cans per wheel doing several coats. Then one can per wheel of clear. But could bar got away with 1/2 a can per wheel. I found some 3in rubber caps for PCs pipe that I am using for caps for now. Still looking for something better.
Well that sure looks tidy.
What did you use for center caps? Thanks.Hi all,
For your situational awareness you can buy the factory spare wheels from several dealers online. Shop around, I found the best balance of price and shipping from a dealer in Texas at myoemmoparparts. Paid $400 shipped for four wheels. The part number is 4755290AA.
I couldn’t find any good pictures of all the markings on these wheels anywhere online and had to do a LOT of research to make sure they were correct so I wanted to put some pics up for anyone else looking at these factory steel wheels. Be advised they are still 7.5” wide so if you want to go up to 37x12.50r17 do it at your own risk. I’m going to run kenda klever 35x10.50r17 so these wheels are ideal for my needs.
Anyway, here are the pics. I used a paint crayon to fill the stampings so they’d be easier to read.
I used these... But I forgot the size. But there were only a few sizes to choose from.I Bent the tabs a little so it'll fit and painted them black. Been on for 2 years and 20k miles.
Hey man, I used the stock steel wheel hubcaps that came on my steel five spokes. I had the part number kicking around someplace - I’ve been asked about it a couple times. Search my posts, I posted a picture of the part number on the inside of one of the hubcaps. Someone didn’t believe that I wrote it down correctly if I recall…
Two thumbs up on this solution! I dig it!!! Nice on the black lug nuts too.I used these...
Ya the chrome lugs had to go... And my center cap solution was not only cheap but they been holding like a champ for over a year! Highway/city/overland driving.
Thanks
