See www.unverferth.com for the floation wheels&tires. Looks like the only wheel manufacturing copany we have left in us now.. I have beat my mind out trying to find out if could get 5 6 hole new wide floation wheels with the budd web so coveted by pw admirers, i can make the flat stuff but nobody wants the mud racer look. They like the web from the budd wheel that says, Hey, you wussy boy over there, i have real wheels and am made in america by americans, i am w300 w500 w600 etc! Answer depends on how you handle the brake/chamber.tierod clearance. The SWAMP FOX was a w300 and had those giant teras on front and rear, look at the picture and see if you think they doctored the lift or tierod? Mopar norm said he has who made the wheels in his notes? I know you have had the same thought as i did, i even looked around at henrys thinking, AAA will be putting the 14x20 or 16x20 on the w500 he has to dethrone the blue W300 4door king of the hill country! I dream of the swamp fox tires on your truck (w500) going down hiway past the weigh station. Hey, you can get special plates to run the 45 "mph" terras on the hiway, same as feed store does. They have used wheels and tires and another place i have on other computer has some giant wheels tires used takeoff of a 2 ton spreader truck, plasma the centers and wella, Bad, tall, Widest, Mudhogging, floating w500 in Texas! If i ever find them i would like a super single 20 inch combat wheel like on the new 5 ton mil truck and change out the bhp for pw! Beadloked 14x20 michlins for tire and from the salvage yard, homerun for Powerwagons, $300 a wheel&tire combination, what a bargain for a 18 ply tire you can airdown, AAA there is not much to lifting a w300 or w500 cheaply and it is done with simple 1/2 plate and some new bolts, guess you could add a spring or two also. I really dont think it is needed, w500 has a giant wheelwell screaming for the big meats. Thats why i have these dreams! Beautiful openings, what classic lines, man am i sick!
