The wheel I linked to is for a Suburban, so that makes sense. This is the only wheel I have found in an 8x6.5 bolt circle and 16" diameter.
Moving the wheel inboard 28mm moves the scrub radius closer to the correct point - not perfect. Seems like this would help correct the torque steer issue. Does anyone have a link to the actual scrub radius difference? I know I saw a drawing somewhere. The spacers that came with my one ton are 3.25". Maybe this issue has been addressed with the current spacers. Was trying to have a non-spacer solution.
This does not fix the issue of the non-parallel control arms, but, as Bob would say, I'm comfortable with that.
The centerbore of the Chevy 2500 wheels linked above is 5.15. Aluminum hub spacers are available.
