fit my 79 f-250? Do they have the same bolt patern? I have a d44 in front and a d60 out back.This is prolly the easiest way to answer this question: 8 lug wheels on a 6.50" bolt circle =
1953/98 F250 / 1967/98 F350 / 1969/74 E300 / 1975/2012 E250/350.
F250/350 & F(Super Duty) went to metric wheels in 1999, Econolines did not.

I have thought about that option, but up here, machine shops are pretty spendy. I have not taken the time to get a quote yet though.

yeah the draw for many to oem wheels is that you can buy them cheap. Once you have them machined they are more expensive than a used set of aftermarket wheels that fit right to start with. And I'd rather have a wheel built for the right bolt pattern... wheels are built in a way to provide strength radiating from the hub out. If you can avoid drilling holes in them, they will be stronger.
