Your question I assume seeks responses from members who have fitted modern aftermarket wheels. I'm no help with that, but can provide the below worksheet, offer some input, and at least bump your question back to the top.

Your stock F-2's 16" x 6" wheels have 1/2" of positive offset. We have members who have successfully substituted 17" x 7" Dodge 3/4 ton wheels from the 1990s. But they require front spacers to prevent rubbing. Your stock wheels are highly sought after if you do replace them.

In the unexpected event you are actually seeking oem type 18" wheels, there were none I find record of having the 8 lug x 6.5" pattern. Stu

Yea, new guy here. I will be looking to sell my old rear end with both rims. I have no idea what the front rims are on my truck. They remind me of old power wagon rims only 8 bolt not six. I don't know if I can say power wagon here though?
