I've got 5 of these, 4 installed on the corners and 1 spare.  After some

You can see the "domed" area on the wheel on this 3/4 ton '61 C-120 4x4:

I have to assume that the mounting surface behind this is domed to match,
somehow.

the front:

Of course, anything can be changed...

Sorry about that, 2x4, 16" wheels on all the ones I have. (4 single wheels
on the truck, 4 dual-type wheels off the truck..tires wouldn't even think
about holding air..)
