Widest factory steel wheels?

I'm running 285/75R16s on my '02. When I bought the truck, the previous owner had already replaced the factory steel wheels with some cast aluminum ones. I really don't like aluminum wheels and would like to switch back to steel. But I don't want to go narrower than about 7.5". Were there any OEM steel wheels that were 16x8"? Anyone got any pictures?

I know I could buy a set of aftermarket steel wheels, but I think it might be cool to find some OEM wheels...

My '02 was a stripper, with rubber floormat, handcrank windows, no cruise control, etc. It came with the industrial looking silver-painted steel wheels with 265/75R16 wheels. I wish I still had those wheels, the only one left is the spare. But I think they are only 7" wide...

Not too stoked on the directional OEM chrome and painted steel wheels that came on 97-01 trucks. Anyone have any alternatives to these?
