Ever since I saw an OBS dually on 19.5 semi wheels I've wanted a set.

In my searching I've seen various terms thrown around, mainly "ALCOA" and "Buddy wheels"

From my understanding, I can use any 10 lug semi wheels but I need F450 10 lug hubs and such? What is the pattern on my truck right now? It's an 8 lug and I've heard not all 8 lugs are the same.

Thanks!

 

you should be on 8x6.5. i believe they went metric when they changed the body style in 97.

i went affordable.something like $130 or so a little while ago for simulators and done.looks just fine to me for the $.
i just have to buff them up a little every spring.they get a little surface rust after running in the winter,but clean and shine right back up easy and free.iv done the aluminum and chrome wheels.they just don't last here.look ok for 1 year then old and raged unless you polish the crap out of them every couple months.too much work.now that iv got stainless (even though its just a "cover") i wouldn't take anything else even for free now.love 'em.always a clean effortless shine.

 

semi wheels are 10 lug and 22.5 or 24.5 You can get 19.5s that will bolt right on. IMO 22.5s are too big on a pickup.

F250- WTF is hangin off your front bumper??

 

haha now that iv got old Betsy fixed up,that old running board looks even more goofy (not that it needed any help.) time to add something clean in it's place i suppose.

Did you mean to say I can't get 19.5s that bolt on?

 

19.5s that bolt on do exist, but are rather hard to find. i've seen them before

 

That bolt to the 8 lugs or the 10 lug trucks? And I agree 22.5 are huge on a pick up.

 

i've seen 19.5s in the standard 8 lug pattern. they were pretty old, so i don't know how available they are today

 

I found a set of 8 lug 19.5s.
When I asked the lug pattern he just said "They are 8 lug"

Over and under of them fitting on my 8 lug?

 

up until they went metric, almost all 8 lugs were 8 on 6.5. but there were a few options of center hole sizes, with ford being the biggest.

 

what do you plan on for tires?

 

Retreads?
