My old man bought a truck recently (1995 F250 2 wheel drive) and we found out that the one rear tire is taller than the rest. It explains the weird pulling and shaking issue he's had. So, obviously all we can do is get different tires. I had 2 spares (that are very worn out) that I was gonna put on the back just so he can get it to the tire shop without mixed up tires. These spares were on my 1992 F250 and I had them on there for a couple years until I got new ones. I went to put it on and found out it won't slide over the hub. As seen in the picture (down below) this truck has the extended hub. I don't exactly know what you call that set up because I've never worked on one like this before. Now, When I went to put on my wheels, I couldn't get it to slide over. It seems the hole in the center of the rim is VERY slightly too small. It is an 8 lug just like the original one. Do those axles take special rims or something? My spares (the ones that won't fit) were on my 1992 F250, and I got them off an old Chevy Suburban that my brother had. What was my issue?

And by the way. In the back of the truck was a rim and tire that was badly worn and flat and it matches the other tires. So the guy obviously blew it and put the wrong size on. He WILL be getting new tires and using the other rim. I just wanna clear that before I'm heckled about junky tires haha.

Here's the pic:

 

Both should have Sterling 10.25 i believe. Maybe his got a Dana 60 swapped in? That's the only thing I could think of. That or possibly ABS vs no ABS but i dont think the 250's and up had ABS then.

 

Is there a tag that would say what kind it is? I'm curious now haha. It looks very heavy duty. I believe the rear GVW was 6300 on this truck. My F250 rear GVW was only 4400 I believe. I'm also wondering if the other rims that wouldn't fit are damaged/warped. It just barley fit!

 

A sterling should have a spot for a speed senor on top of pumpkin above pinion a Dana 60 won't have that.

 

That's also a Sterling 10.25 also, but a full floater, much heavier duty than the light one semi floater (like on cars and half tons)


Chevy rims won't fit over these Ford hubs as Chevy and Dodge have much smaller hubs, you would need to drill the center hole bigger on Chevy rims to get them to fit on this axle.
