What type of rims for 1985 f350 dually
I just bought a 1985 f350 dually rollback from a guy out of state. he says it needs new rims and tires on the rear before I drive it far. I plan on taking a set down when i pick it up. My question is "Are the 16 8 bolt dually rims for the back supposed to be coined or not?" Since the truck is 300 miles away i want to make sure I take the right set of rims and tires along. I'm brand new on here. i also have a 1998 f150 supercab so I'm sure I'll be on this site alot.

I *believe* - but wouldn't bet my life on it - that 83 & older use coined wheels while 84+ use
the hub-centric things. But, I'm not an authority on that, hope somebody who is will answer. BTW welcome to FTE! :) Lots of good info out here.... |
I would call the guy and find out what is on there
|
The guy doesn't know either...wow
|
If the existing ones are coined, every other lug hole on the wheel will have a dimple-like
thing, this is what centers the wheel to the hub. The hub-centric variants fit nicely over the protruding hub, no real slack between the hub & wheel. https://i40.tinypic.com/1601tl0.jpg |
That should help alot...
you guys know your stuff!

I asked on another forum and this is the responce i got form a guy that has had over 100 of these trucks
QUOTE "1985 is a transition year between the coined and the hubcentric wheels. if it is a Dana 70 axle, chances are it's coined. if it is a Sterling 10.25, it's hubcentric." So if you find out what axle it has. you will know what wheels a D70 had 10 bolts on the diff cover a sterling has 12 |
