@Shorty81, Thanks! I love the look too. I agree, looks as it should!

@AuroraGirl, yes, the wheels are powder coated. They come only in black. I agree some OEM caps would look great. We are still sorting through my Dad's estate. I am hoping I stumble across the original caps when we sort through the garage.

Here is the truck with the 16x8 Wheel Vintiques, Toyo Open Country III A/T - 285/75, and Tuff Country 2” lift.

Truck looks great! I’m working through a similar scenario with my 86 K20. Just dropped the lift down to a 2”, tuff country. Looking at 285/75R16s as well, but right now all the 16” wheels I’m looking at are 16x8, 0 offset.
Right now my biggest concern is not so much will it look right, but will it rub. Specifically I am worried about contact at the pitman arm/drag link connection. I bought the truck with its current setup, 315/75R16 and I think 16x10 wheels with -25 offset and right now after the drop it comes up and just kisses the drag link.
My fear is with 8” wide wheels and no offset, even with tires that are a bit narrower, I would contact it even more. Have you had any issues here? Could you confirm the offset on your wheels? Appreciate and advice from your experience.

Just thinking of my truck as an example, i feel 285 would rub based on the width alone, but im not sure what offset stock wheels have.
