eight lug wheels
Hello All..
I am looking at buying a set of newer (2000) f-250 Ford OEM alloy wheels from a local guy.. I have a 78 F250 4x4.
My question is will they fit on my 8 lug older Dana axles?? I was not sure if they switched to a 8-on-metric dimension with the newer trucks or not??
Thanks in advance..
Cheers..

the wheels can be drilled and bushed to the standard pattern. if they are cheap enough, you could probably swap them for a set of 97 back mags at a salvage yard. i am not sure what it costs to have them drilled and bushed, but i have heard of people doing it. i started to get a set of wheels off of a dually, and found out i could buy new wheels cheaper than the used set off a late model.

I don't think the wheels will work on your hubs. I have a 96 F-250, and, a 77 F-250, and my 96 wheels are hub piloted, the 77 are not. They also have different pilot hole sizes so the 77 wheels will not fit on the 96. I also know that 2000+ wheels will not fit my 96 lug pattern, If I remember right its because they use 7 lugs, not 8, not just different bolt circle. Also FYI the 1/2 Ton Fords went to a 6 lug pattern. So much for keeping things simple.
