i would like to use some newer Ford stock rims on my 87 f350 4x4. Can anyone tell the stock bolt pattern and which newer rims might be compatible?
thanks!!
not a bad idea but with adapters you generally are going to make the tires stick out farther me personally I would just find a nice set of 8x165s they have some bad azz ones on ebay for reasonable
The bolt pattern is also known as 8 on 6.5" which is how most of the aftermarket wheels will be listed. IMHO adapters to go to the newer metric bolt pattern are just a waste of money, plenty of nice aftermarket wheels out there with the correct for you bolt pattern...
I don't recommend using adapters on any vehicle. They are a weak point. Look for 97 and older wheels. You should consider the factory aluminum wheels. Those are the best looking wheels in my opinion.
That may be, but there is a difference between that and the china made aluminum crap that most people are talking about. I don't trust them as far as I can throw them. Also if the tires stick out more it will adversely effect handling.

How so? In my head I would think a wider base would increase your stability. It wouldn't change any of the steering angles either.
