I have seen a few duallies with steel semi wheels w/ low profile tires. I want to know how they are doin that without having to shave the wheel down...since the wheels are steel instead of alluminum. The reason I ask is I am looking for an 88 body style dually and want to put semi wheels on it....and have a set of steel wheels I can pic up for free. Also want to know what wheel to run on inside in rear? And what size tire to run...265/35/33 or what?

i know they are milling the aluminum wheels. semi' are 22.5's and you need 22.0 so off comes .250 off the wheel, which in turn will make a 22 wheel.

Yeah....I know they have to shave down alluminum wheels...but I have seen some duallies running the STEEL semi wheels and was wanting to know how they are pulling that off?
Basically, steel wheels that have been milled down = danger.
It's bad news.
