Does my truck have front leaf springs?

I was looking at rims off of a 2013 ford f250 super duty and I was wondering if they would fit on my 1994 f250 diesel. The guy said it would fit on any ford without leaf springs.

Nope; at least the '88 and '02 patterns are different -- by about 1/4-1/2 inch. Just enough to make it impossible to swap them.

Hm that sucks. I thought they looked cool plus they had the ford emblem on the back ones.

Yeah that was bad info you got. About '97 and older has a 6.5" bolt circle and anything newer is metric and not compatible

97 and older had 8X6.5 bolt pattern. 99to 04 had 8X170mm bolt pattern, 05 to present is 8X200 bolt pattern. so 2012 rims will not even fit on a 04
