What kind of wheels are these, are they cragar soft 8's or a sort of look a like? I like that they sit in real deep, and I didn't think cragar soft 8's did that?

It could be either a Soft 8 or a ProComp Rock crawler 98 steel wheel. The cap does look like the Cragar cap though. Notice those are 5 lug wheels...probably 5x5 and maybe even a 7" wide rim with a high backspace and it'd look tucked in like that.

Lots of sizes here...

Edit, thought you meant sit in the fenderwells deep....if you're talking about how it looks like a deep dish rim, you'd just need a low backspace for it to look like that .

Looks like a Cragar Soft 8 to me.... either way, the "dish" is all dependent on backspacing and wheel width...it doesn't matter what manufacturer, style, material, etc...

I'm just taking my AR Mojave Teflon's 16x8's wrapped on the good year dura wrangler's from the hoe and throwing them on the new truck, and taking the brand new 245/70/17 tires and wheels off the new truck and throwing them on the hoe'. I spent like $1200 dollars on the Mojaves and the dura tracs and I love them so yeah.. Is there gonna be any problem putting the 16x8 wheels on the new truck?

i think the wheels will sit in to far. i thought you could put nbs and nnbs wheels on an obs but not the other way around? might also run into an issue with them clearing the front brakes.

The minimum wheel diameter for NNBS trucks is 17". 16" wheels will not clear the brake rotors/calipers.

Also, whatever wheels you wanna put on your NEw truck, your gonna have to buy the Tire Pressure Monitor Sensors (TPMS) for the valve stems. Unless you want your dash with the yellow light on and it ringing "check tire pressure"

That sucks donkey dick, forgot about that.

Ok so on the new truck, I want to have nice fat tires and wheels. How will Pro Comp Rock Crawler Monster Mod Steel Wheels Black 98 Series 17x9, 6x5.5, 4.5" Backspacing look on it?
Will they stick out enough to give it that agressive look? I'll be going with a 33x12.5" tire.

Are those hubcentric wheels? I don't see that they specify a hub size anywhere. If they're not hubcentric, I would highly suggest getting hub spacer rings.

2ELO, I don't mean to sound like a **** here ha but I've only had to buy so many sets of wheels in my day and haven't heard the term hubcentric, what are hub spacer rings and what are there purpose? Are they cheap? And do you think they'll give me the effect I'm going for?
