Only problem... at least on my 1993 F350, the hub has a "clocking dowel", as a result there is exactly one clocking position each wheel can go on. Quite annoying as with my factory aluminium rims, the valve stems of the inner steel rim is forced to be behind one of the "spokes" of the outer aluminum rim.You can also line up the slots or holes in the wheels where the valve is showing. And it also possible to have valve in opposite slots, it makes it easier than both valves in the same slot. Then use an air gauge with dual heads for checking pressure. I don't have a dual wheeled truck but I have changed many a flat on the big rigs, tractor/ trailer, mixer trucks, dump trucks. It didnt take many times having the slots not lined up and not being able to air up or check pressure, to learn how to get it right.
My .02 cents worth.
I've been tempted to cut the clocking dowel off... just not sure why it's there in the first place and what the ramifications are if I remove it and change wheel clocking.
