If I were 8 lug I would try to find a set of those Alcoa's that came on the mid-90's f250s. I have heard of people taking the f100 running gear and putting it under an f250. There was a guy on here that did it, cannot remember the name though.

I have a 72 f250 too, and i hate the 16.5 rims, they have ONE choice for offroad tires 33" and bigger. Im looking to go down to a 16" and go big rubber. Do you know the lug pattern? is it 8x6.5"?

8x6.5, same as Dodge and GM HOWEVER the hub center is larger than the stock GMs. Any aftermarket rim should fit though.

When I went short stepside there was clearance problems between one side. I ended up running a 1" spacer for the side that needed it and 1" spacer for my spare carrier. We measured before and after and the axle was equally spaced side to side and bed was centered, but wheel clearance was still off. I had 2" spacers when I was still long fleetside but ended up being way too wide(flareside fenders were so narrow. I got the spacers from below.
5x5.5" (139.7mm)
for 1/2" stud.

latest pic of mine. 67 f100, just finished dana 60 rear and 8 lug disks up front swap.
on 16x7 "wagon" wheels, 265/70/R16 tires.
the front springs were alittle too long so it made my wheels cambered out, its been fixed now by cutting a coil and half off.
