need 7lug 16.5 rims???

I have a 99 f250 ld. Looking to put the 37" military take offs on but can't find any 7 lug rims any where. A local junk yard has 2 aluminum 7 lug 16.5 wheels but I need all 4. Any one know where to look or who makes them?

Are the 37" military tires made for a 16.5" wheel? It is hard enough to find wheels for a 7-lug truck, so its gonna be really hard to find 7-lug 16.5 " wheels because that size isn't very common. Is there any reason why you specifically want the military tires? They are very heavy tires so you might be better off looking for a normal truck tire. If you are set on those tires, then search google for 7 lug 16.5" wheels and look hard to see if you can find anything.

The reason im want the military take offs is because u can buy all 4. For between $200-400 for a 37" mutual tire that's not to aggressive compared to spending $2k on tires new. I have looked all over the internet and haven't found any place.

7 lugs

Whatever you do, insure the rims you get will fit your truck. I have an 07 and was told the older rims were not compatible with mine. Don't remember why but I passed on those. Just raising the awareness in case you hadn't checked it out.

Not gonna happen unless your gonna put new axles under it.

To the op, those military tires are really heavy and will kill your mileage if that makes a difference to you. Also while they seem cheap if your not local to pick them up they'll charge you about 100 each to ship them.

But good luck, as far as I know most companies have all but stopped making 16.5" wheels. It's just not a popular size even in the offroad community because they don't have as big of a safety bead so you can't air them down.
