Tire and Wheel Q:
I am looking to purchase a 2004 F250 XLT, FX4, V8 gas. It currently has the 16" wheels with the round hole pattern. I would like to switch them to the 20" five spoke wheels with stock 20" tires. See link, Ford 20' Wheels and Tires
Will this tire and wheel combo fit the wheel wells and not rub on the front when turning?

Seat Belt Q:
Same truck... The middle rear seat only has the lap belt. Can the lap belt be replaced with a 3 point seat belt? Aftermarket or newer factory? Has anybody tried this?

Thanks

 

Those wheels will bolt on but the offset is wrong so they will look a little silly and rub on full lock as well

 

you'd have to run 2" spacers to utilize those rims

not safe IMO for the potential weights a F-250/350 can see.


secondly, no on the seatbelt. there isn't any cab structure to support a shoulder belt

 

So the axle widths are different amongst F250 Super Duty trucks?
10-4 on the seat belts

 

99-04 trucks are 4" narrower axle widths than a 05-13 trucks

 

whoops, I forgot the newer trucks had the seatbelt support built into the seat itself.



the seats from a 08-13 bolt right into your 2004. Find a good deal on some and you can have that shoulder belt. Not to mention that most likely your current seats are a little worn after 8 yrs. 2 birds 1 stone

 

Good info, thank you.
