It may be an illision due to the angle of the photo. But, those look like narrow lock rings. Narrow lock rings are std on 5.50 wheels that are used with 7.50 - 16 tires. Your tires are 900-16s and should be on 6.50" wheels with the wide lock ring. If you happen to have narrow lock rings on 6.50 wheels then that is a danger. Otherwise it is probably still okay, though I am sure Mike will beg to differ.

By any chance does the truck have 4.89 gears, stock?
