To add to the 16" Dually Steel Chevy/GMC wheel discussion. If you have mid-disk brakes or even 80mm up front, you may have to move tires around a bit to get clearance for the disk brakes. There is an ear on the front that just barely rubs on the inside of the steel rim. Probably not a good idea to drive it that way. At some point, I may grind down the ear, but too many other tasks to accomplish first.
Plenty of clearance with the rear drums.

Michael,
The stock GMC Motorhome wheel is sixteen and one half inches.
The Firestone wheel p/n 27994 is sixteen inches.
I have just forwarded you every email I've saved from the GMC net regarding
this subject; there's twenty of them.

Thanks guys,
Question: Is the Firestone wheel the one that is stock on the GMC M/H?
If not, what did they come on?

Michael,
Disregard my post, it was Kelsey Hayes that made nearly all of the GM
wheels in the 70's. Sheese, I can't believe how my memory slips.

Emory,
Thanks for refreshing my memory. In my last post, I said wheels
manufactured before 1990 and I should have said 1988.

Tom,
You may want to review this when it comes to 80MM calipers.

Duh! How stupid! After all the emails stating 16 inch Firestone wheels, me, knowing our GMC wheels are 16.5, ask this stupid question below. C'mon, Michael, think once in awhile!!
Thx, guys
