Hi I am looking for a set of 4 Ford truck wheels 8 lug 16 inch from 61-66. Thanks in advance.

 

Are you looking for a particular rim to fit certain hubcaps...

"Innie" or "Outtie" hubcaps?

If you check out my photos...my truck has "bottlecap" hubcaps which require tabs on the inside section of the rim, while others
have tabs on the outside section of the rim.

The F250 trucks also take a hard to find deeper and slightly larger bottlecap to clear the Dana rear Diff.

If the "innie" hubcaps are not an issue, any 8 lug 6.50" bolt circle 16" wheel will fit from a 1967/98 F250/350, 1969/74 E300, 1975 thru today E250/350.

Excepting some 1967/69 F250/350's, all these wheels use "outie" hubcaps.

Stay away from F250/350 Camper Special wheels, as they are wider and deeper, require hard to find tires.

 

I need pre 1967 8 lug wheels that accept the innie hubcaps. Thanks for the replies though.

 

Hey 1911,

I'll tell you now, these 16" "innie" rims are very hard to find, if not impossible. I have 5, and I had to scour the country
for them for 6 months. I scoured the wrecking yards...Problem is this...they are designed to use tube-type bias ply tires, and
most of the ones you'll find are on vehicles that have been sitting with flat tires forever...moisture gets into them, pools, and
corrosion occurs. These rim centers are riveted to the outer rim, and when severe rust occurs, it compromises the integrity of
the rim around the rivets, rendering it useless. don't buy any that have tires mounted without seeing the rim inside...almost
guaranteed to be FUBAR. These rims are not recommended for use with radials either...if I were you, look into having custom
wheels made with a builder like "wheel vintique"...as I mentioned earlier...the second challenge will be finding the F250 hubcaps...
they are larger in diameter and deeper to fit over the Dana 60 rear hub.

Good luck Mate, I hope you find some good ones.

You did not specify if you are looking for the snap ring type wheel or non snap ring. If you are looking for snap ring type I can come up with a few of those every now and then from my local pull and save. Let me know and I will start gathering them up for you. If you want the non snap ring wheels you will search a long time unless you are very lucky.

 

Warrior wants "non-split" rims. Wheel experts refer to "drop-centre" (or center) wheels to describe what we would call a one-piece wheel. I tried forever to find a set that would accept the '66 cap but failed. I searched for them because I saw a set on an old beater truck and presumed they were Fomoco but now I think they might have been custom or maybe even GM or Dodge modified to accept the Ford "innie" hubcap.

I have a set that the stock "innie" hubcaps fit.

I may consider selling depending on what they are worth to you?
I have the caps too.

 

not meaning to argue with you but I went back and read his posts again. I did not see where he specified those wheels at all. Drop center and snap ring wheels where both available in 16" with innie mounting cababilities so unless he specified that how do you know. Dont give up on the drop center they are out there you just got to get lucky my search continues as well.

Ps I found 16" 5 lug innie wheels for my 65 4wd. That took a while as in almost a year but eventually I found them. You should see the way people look at them when I show the truck.

 

Hi Randy if warrior doesnt take you up on those I just might. Let me know how that goes. Hope you are feeling better guy.

 

Could have been a budd wheel too. I have some 17.5 innie wheels that are 8 lug made by them. Tires are too expensive as you have to buy large truck tires for them.

 

Its mentioned in the heading of the post (non split rim)

 

Just imagine the way people would look at a set of 17.5" 5 lug innie wheels on 4X4 F100.

 

On my '65 F250, I had 1980's steel wheels with these hub caps. Easy to find at any bone yard. The hub caps are not. The hub caps are deeper for the rear axle, than the ones on the front, (as pictured).
I have a spare NOS set.

(These are "outies")

 

Nonsense, your truck has F250 outie hubcaps on the front, E300/350 & F350 outie hubcaps on the rear. These caps are deeper due to the Dana 70 hub.

Two different types of these hubcaps, innies and outies. Two different versions of each: Stainless (Custom Cab & Econoline Chateau) / Painted argent with black accents (Standard Cab, Econoline Cargo Van).

Innie: 1967/68 F250 10 5/16" diameter / Outie: 1967/77 F250/350 & 1969/77 E250/300/350 11 3/4" diameter.

Innie: Hubcap snaps over tabs located on the inside of the wheels center section / Outie: Hubcap snaps onto tabs located on the outside of the wheels center section.
