I want to (do not need to) put a set of these wheels on my GN trailer to match (they have a similar appearance) my truck.

04' Ford 250 4x4 Wheels

I already communicated through email. The tires are worn out.
They are over an hours drive away from me.

I think they are overpriced, but i may be wrong? What are they worth?

 

I think a good aluminum factory wheel with the center cap is worth $80 apiece. It all depends what you want, but maybe you can negotiate down a bit since the tires are worn out. If you do end up getting them, be sure to post up pictures on the gooseneck

 

They dont look like dually wheels to me David they look like SRW. Are they for the pics of your truck in your sig?

 

You have a sharp eye megawatt00. They are single (SRW) wheels. They have a "similar appearance" to my truck (as pictured in sig) with duals. My GN is a two axle, single tire trailer, not dually.

 

They are metric so I'm pretty sure they won't bolt up without adapters. Try your spare or one of your truck wheels and compare the bolt pattern.

 

Is the lug pattern the same for SRW and DRW trucks? I think it is.
My extra dually lug pattern does not mount on the GN. I used an older wheel last time to (incorrectly) verify.

It may be time for me to forget about this set of wheels.

 

Aren't trailer wheels generally zero offset, and truck wheels are not???????

 

Yes from single to dual the bolt pattern is the same.

 

I am always more concerned with back-spacing than off-set as long as the lug pattern is correct. But that is just me.

Thanks everyone for the input. Time to move on.

 

I found a set for 200 that came off an 06. I thought that was a good price. Owner said they had been on for about 2 months.

 

Joe,

'06 rims are a different offset from the 99-04's, and are gonna need adapters.

David,

Though I already have a complete spare set of Lariat rims (that's what's pictured in the Craigslist ad), If I were close, and didn't have a set, I'd grab those rims and caps for $250, tires or not.

The only way you will use these on a trailer is:

New, custom-built hubs;

Adapters;

Re-drill the rims.

Though a nice touch to add to the trailer, it doesn't seem very practical unless there's a bottomless pit of funding available. If you had a SRW, the spare commonality might be attractive. The weight you can put on LT265-75-R16's load range E tires might also be.

I've found the best reason to have a spare set of rims is to be able to CAREFULLY clean them both inside and out (stored without tires), especially the bead area, and to inspect them carefully for any sign of developing flaws. I find that fine ScotchBrite works well for this. This enables new tires to be mounted on flawless beads and ensures against even minute bead leaks. Since these rims need special, high-pressure stems, I take the rims to the tire shop without them, and look carefully for the correct ones to be installed when mounting new.

I get my old rims back from the tire shop without tires, ready to repeat the cycle.
