Honda steelie 235/85-16 project

While doing more research, I came across these BMW wheels (sold as a set). They have a slightly larger center bore then the Honda wheels and all of the other dimensions seem to line up. Not sure on the lug stud size though. But, these might a great alternative with some centering rings: https://www.ecstuning.com/b-genuine-...36111095013kt/

Check this sight out and go crazy looking for matches. There are several, some VW Toureg I think, maybe others. Then it's hard to source the wheel once matched. https://www.wheel-size.com/

Turns out the BMW wheels won't work. I found a forum thread where a guy tried them and he said they "tacoed". Not good.
I might just try to find a set of Odyssey wheels in a junk yard and have them machined like you did.
Currently, I have 285/75 r16's so this tire size will actually save me some serious MPG's and power. Thanks for posting your experience. It really helps.

I still find it odd that a steel wheel would "taco" under normal use. Maybe if they were aggressively off-roaded. Could be the BMW wheel is designed for a lighter spec to have lower unsprung weight which is desirable for performance car handling. I am pretty confident for me to taco a wheel the incident needed would either flip the truck on its roof first or involve a hard stationary object hit at speed. In either case I would have bigger problems.

I'm about ready to just order 1 wheel (from ) and see if my local machinist can bore the center. I was hoping you wouldn't mind shooting a close up photo of a wheel (on the vehicle of course) so I can see what the center should look like. I know, it's a big ask, but the photos in this thread are really small and I can't quite see that bore opening and the lug nuts. If not, no problem.
