the super duty wheels will not fit the old 8/6.5 bolt patterns that your truck has. i think it would be more of a hassle to try to fit them to em if its even possible

No go on new factory rims, but there are still plenty of aftermarket wheels to fit

Another option is find E-series van rims. Even brand new 2013 models still use our old bolt patern, so any wheels you see on a van, will bolt on our old trucks.

But I think theres still a pretty big aftermarket place for rims on these things.

2004-2007 E150's use the 5x5.5 bolt pattern that our F150's use.

There are also plenty of aftermarket wheels with the 8-6.5 bolt pattern. Summit Racing carries a lot of them.
