1995 f250xl


as some of u may have seen i just got this truck a few weeks ago and its still has its stock wheels (hub caps).

ive been looking on a few different websites and i dont know which brands are good. ive been looking at american racing, pro comp and mickey thompson mainly because they have the style i am looking for. something like this

and are there any websites where i can get suggestion on tire sizes? i might stick to the OE 16" size but i might also go up to 17" so idk what tire sizes would look good.

 

Stock Alcoa's are always good. You can find them on Craigslist for 3-400 a set give or take.

Those will fit my lug pattern? I thought those were for diesels?

 

Hi,
This^^^^^^

I found a set with the tires on CL for $200!

These wheels are FORGED!!!!

 

If im looking for a pair what would i need to make sure of? Just that they are 8 lug and my wheel pattern?

 

Basically. If you can find a stock set off an OBS Ford, they will be 8 on 6.5" spacing. The gassers and the diesels have the same lug pattern ( the 250's and 350's).

American Racing is one of the oldest & best wheel companies out there. MT is no slouch. Pro Comps are rather new in comparison to both but have a solid rep.

Nothing wrong with original Alcoas, but new wheels are like new shoes. Gives you a whole new look on things.

15 & 16 sized tires are getting fewer & farther between, just to keep in mind.

 

So ur saying not that many companies still produce tires that are for 16 x 6.5 wheels?

 

I'm just saying that the selection of 15 & 16 inch tires is getting smaller all the time with the advent of 17 & up tires. You can't buy a new truck with 15" tires & 16s' on a small truck/SUVs are getting harder to find, with those you do find being pricier than before.

Nothing absolute, just a consideration to be mindful of.

 

 

Those are dually wheels. Were you planning on converting your truck to a dually?

No but i would just not use the inners. Or would it look stupid with alcoa deep dishes on my gas 250? Haha

 

It would look hokey imho.

Hahaha i thought so

 

WELD used to have a line of forged wheels. Pretty sure AR, MT, etc. will be cast and Chinese, although they will work fine.
