My question is what year rims fit my 1996 Ford F250, does any other years fit the 8 lug F250. I've read that 87 to 96 fit, I was wondering if the newer years F250 will fit the 96 bolt pattern. If any one knows what year rims fit a 96 F250 please let me know. Thanks.

 

The later models were a metric size and were NOT the same, the '97 250-350 had the same pattern.

Some Dodge and GM 3/4 tons used the same bolt pattern but you have to watch the backspacing with them..

 

Your 96 F250 has 8 x 6.5 bolt pattern. Any pre 97 Ford wheel will fit, as will most GM and Dodge 8 lug wheels. As the last post stated, check the backspacing. I got my wheels from Discount Tire, 16 x 8 aluminum for $80/ea new. You may be able to see them in my pic.

 

Hey, I've got a 96 F350 and I'm looking for some winter steelies. Found a set of Dodge steel rims off a 2500. Here are some pics: Will these fit my 96 F350? I know the lug pattern is the same. I'm just concerned about backspacing and hub clearance.

 

IIRC the center hub hole is too small

 

The aluminum slots I put on my 86 were for a Chevy. They would not fit over the rib on the rear hub. I chucked a course burr in my router and plowed 1/8th wide by 5/8th deep to make them fit. It was very easy. I just had my son keep spraying the burr with WD40. It keeps it cool and clean. I had seen this done on a car show awhile back.

 

There. I got it to upload.

 

I have some factory Chrysler Corp. steel wheels on my F250 and the center hole was the correct size, but they are the older style they used in the 80s.
