OK, Finally! here it is for all to see...
Tires:
Michellin XDE-MS 12 ply 245/70R 19. 5" Rated at 4080# @95 PSI. "F" Rate. bought locally for $265 ea.
Rims:
Ricksons Forged Aluminum Rims "Eliminator" model. 8 X 6. 75" (new for this year) The michellin tires has a rim need of 6. 75 to 7. 5" Bought at ricksons for $395 ea.
This is the new rim for Ricksons... . Originally I was going to get the 10 hole classic like the simulators and almost every big rig..... Got these and I like them better... . Almost looks like the dodge rims...

Heres a side shot of the rim... It sets about 1" deeper from the outside than the old rims... but then it is narrower as well. notice the dish where the lugs go, the cap sits on the lugs anf there is a gap but it still looks good...

Here is the rear of the rim, it was clean. . and if you give it a little time, would be able to be polished..... notice the inside of the holes... polished openings. The rear plate to the back of the rimis like 2" less than the 16" but again the rim is narrower.

here is the section width of the tires... . The left is the 16" E rate 265/75-16... the Section width of the 16" is about 11"
The section width of the "F" tires is about 9. 5". The bulge from the tread to sidewall is 3/4"... . The 16" is 1. 5" The suprising thing is the tread on the "F" is maybe 1/4" wider than the "E" tire. but more squared off.
