They were optional on pre-72 D100s so maybe they were an option on 72-80 trucks. I think the factory ones were pretty narrow though. There should be plenty of aftermarket wheels that would work.

Stockton will custom build any size around that police wheel or other factory Chrysler steel wheel.
Facts are stubborn things.

If buying new, skip 16s. Much better tire choices for 17s. See if you like any of the late model mustwang wheels. Many are very reasonably priced, and available used. Do this. With a tall truck side wall you won't really notice the extra inch of rim and 17" tires are far more available than 16". -Jon

I didn't see much of anything on that site either. Did some rambling's of it either closing or being sold off.
As I'm in the shopping for a 72-80 truck mode currently. Most of what I look at needs work and that's okay. Bound to low buck route as the student loan goes until 2032.
There are ZERO 72-80 D100 or D150's long beds left in upstate NY or nearby states. Or they're out of my price range.
I want a 72-80 to tow my Coronet on the open trailer.
And of course the coolness factor of a 70's truck towing a 60's car
So modern tires and wheel will help with stability.

This is a Keystone 16X7 on an '84 8 lug on a 3/4 ton axle under my '76. Got them at Whitlock. Had 'em in the boxes for decades. Finally used 'em this past summer. Got a pair of 17X8's from Summit to go with them. They are all black no chrome. I don't have pictures of those yet. Got those at Summit. Many sizes and styles are available.
I would recommend finding the tire you want, then getting the rim to go with 'em.
I have mechanical Aptitude. I can screw up anything.
