Suggestions for aftermarket wheels on a 1994 F250...

1994 Ford F250 XLT 5.8L E4OD Regular Cab LWB 2WD

I was wondering what you guys suggest for a set of aftermarket wheels for my red 1994 F250?

It has the stock steel wheels with the factory hubcaps right now, and it's already screaming for a change... lol.

I have always been a fan of the Eagle 058's, but I also like the looks of the American Racing AR-23's (I think that's the right number).

Anywho, what do ya'll think?

By the way, I'm planning on staying with the stock-size tires.

And if ya'll have any pictures, send them my way!

Thanks!

All I have is a crummy cell phone pic, but I will be cleaning it up tomorrow and taken more pictures to put in my gallery.

If I'm not mistaken the later model F-250's are the same lug pattern at our model trucks. I may be wrong though. You might be able to pick up some factory take offs from a newer F-250. Harley Davidson edition F250 wheels would look really good, but I imagine they're high in price.

Here is a pic of my red F350. I dont know if you saw some of the pics in the other threads. My primary set of wheels are 16.5x10 American Racing Baja's, which Eagle Alloy makes a replica of on ebay. I now have smaller tires on a set of American Racing wheels that I dont know the name or number of.


If ya got the bank for it, id get these wheels.

If you have same color as me, then the Black with polished lip will look killer. Sorry my Bajas are dirty

95F350XL, I had the same wheels that you currently have on my E250 Work Van, but I had 16.5x33x12.50's on it. It was two wheel drive but it still looked killer. I painted my rims black though. I'll snap some pics of it tomorrow. :]

No, 99 and up F250's and F350's have a different pattern. So the 8 lug that will fit is 8x6.5. The 99 and up is 8x170mm.

There's a picture of my truck that I took today with the stock wheel and hubcaps.

Right now, I'm in-between the Eagle 058's and the American Racing AR-23's...

Eagle Alloys 058's :: Clicky Clicky

American Racing AR-23's :: Clicky Clicky

I'll either be mounting back stock-size tires or I'll go up to the biggest Buckshot Mudders that I can stuff under it...

What do ya'll think?

I like the Eagles.

It's what I want for my truck, although I really like the black/silver one's 95F350XL posted.

I dont like the AR's caus of the rivits. As my new AR's have them but for what I need them for its good. Id get the black with the polished lip, and get tires that have white letters on them. Go with the size of like 285/75/16 or 33's if you want to.

I prefer steel wheels when going painted
the nascar replica wheels look good on the 90's trucks
had them on a 96 f150 back before I changed over to a van
www.jegs.com has some from cragar that are reasonable in price

I think that I'm going to go with the Eagle 058's.

I talked with my local tire shop, and he's going to fix me up with a set of those 058's and some Buckshot's.

I know that it's pointless with a 2WD, but what's the biggest tire that you can fit under a bone-stock two-wheel drive F250? I would like 33's, but I'm thinking that's out of the question without a lift.
