If your truck has 8 lug wheels and is not a dually they should work.

I read somewhere that ford used same rim, from llike late 1966s to1997 or 1998.
then switched center bore to mm. i don't really know to much about it. thats why i'm asking.

Ford switched to a metric bolt circle on the 99 model year Super Duty trucks. The vans however retained the original 8-6.5 lug pattern.

thanks jhooch
i bought the rims and tires off a salvage yard this morning,
turned out good. tires ended up being almost new. i put them on
right away. took split rims back to salvage and dropped off.
i noticed my stud bolt is little smaller then what was on e350.
the nut does not cover all markings from other nut on rim.
any ldeas
thanks frank
