Fitment question '55 F350 Wheels

L.TONY F350 · #1 (**permalink**) 11-04-2009, 05:20 PM

My '55 F350 dually dump has the OEM 6-hole, 16 inch split rims and as noted in many threads here - replacement wheels are tough to find

Any advice/experience with the M35 series 9.00-20 military NDT tire on the 2.5 ton rim.

Bolt pattern is 6 holes on 8.750" center.
Center hole is 6.5".

The eBay seller states that this wheel "will fit many of the older Fords, etc."

Thanks, Tony

No such luck. Your truck has 6 lug x 7.25" bolt circle rather than the big 8.75" circle. I see you're in Maryland. I know of a truck with the tubeless wheels you'd do well with, they are the 17.5" size, but they are in Utah. The yard owner said he'd sell them separate of the truck, so I can come back with the yard info if that'd help. Also, one of our members a while back posted to a thread describing the luck he's had finding these on Craigs List. You might give that a try. Stu

Here's a pic of the truck. The yard is Fico Truck Parts in Willard, Utah. It's near Ogden. Ask for Corey. Phone number is (801) 782-7502. Stu
