Wheel size -- 7700 7-lug
I'm looking at aftermarket rims for the infamous 7 lug wheels on the 7700 package. I have a fairly new set of BFG AT/KOs 275/70-R16... Can anyone please confirm the wheel size I should be asking for?
Thanks in advance. I've found a decent price on an auction site, but need to ensure the right sizing.

I had the 7700 package on my 150 4x4 and would not be w/o that package again better gearing ...and now I have the newer body style 150 4X4/8200....again better gearing(4:10).
But there are differences: my O4/8200 has much a much bigger brake & drum set-up and when I traded my 150/4x4/7700 I kept the American Racing Wheels for my 04/150/4x4/8200. BUT the large drums and brake set up would not allow those wheels to fit. I had to sell them and get the newer design 7-bolt pattern from American Racing.
If someone would post a picture for me I'd take pix's and show you my American Racing Wheels with the 7-bolt pattern. My truck now has a 3" lift kit and 285/75/R/17's fit adequately without problems. The 285's are fine even w/o the lift kit but 04's and later the Front end ground clearance for the 8200 GVW package is acceptable for city driving but is pathetic for off-roading. ****
****And if there is anyone out there doubting this I CAN PROVE IT!
I don't know who the dumbschidts were when they designated the 04/150 4x4 as the truck of the year but if they also meant the 4x4 150 with the 8200 GVW pack..they must'a had their head up the bazzoo.
AND THIS WAS A FACT I POINTED OUT ON THIS SITE IN BLISTERING POST WAY BACK IN NOV/DECEMBER OF 04.
ANYWAY THE LIFT KIT ON MY TRUCK IS A BLOCK OF ALUM HONED OUT TO FIT LIKE A BUSHING ABOVE THE SHOCK AND SPRING AND UNDER THE METAL PIECE OF THE SPRING WHERE THOSE 3-BOLTS FIT..pROtECH ez LIFT...THIS set up crushes the spring [spring and strut have to be taken apart the re-fitted with this part] THEn is fitted back under the Frame-BRACKET ...horrible ride but ground clearance is 1,000 per cent better than stock. Gonna have this set up(ProTech) removed and I going to try readylift.com

They are 17's but the tires are like new Michelin Cross Terrain SUV's. They would last you at least 15 thousand miles, if not more.
I had them on my '98 7700.
Sorry, it's not worth the trouble or time to get these to a shipper....they would have to be picked up. I'm hoping some one local catches these threads, and takes them off my hands.
