    I want to put 385-65R 22.5 steering tires on my 04 379L Pete. Can any one help me with part # for the correct rim or what offset I would need. I want polished alluminum wheels. Thanks the Cat

    I would just turn the wheels easch way and measure what you have for clearence. When I put 425's on mine I believe I got a 3" offset. The idle arm is probably where you are going to rub first.

    Any truck wrecker will know what offset you need for a 379 Pete. However, something to consider, if you have a 12,000 lb axle, the bearings are too small and may not hold up with the wide steer tires.
