Eight lug wheels?

Hello, I just got a 1956 F250 to work with and noticed that one of my 8 lug wheels was plenty rusty and was wondering what later model 8 lug wheel would fit my hub..It has what looks like the original 16" wheels and are tube type. I would probably be better off with a modern tubeless wheel if it is a common size. Let me hear from you folks, thanks.

well if they are 16inch rims and 8bolt im thinking they are then most any 8 bolt wheel from a ford 95 and back "should" fit i believe.
I could be wrong though.

Any 8 lug Ford style (they have a slightly larger center hole) will work, they were used up through the '90's. Your stock '56 hubcaps won't fit the later wheels though...

Hey Glxy,
If you post pics then Stu & others can tell you
quite a bit about alternatives.

Good luck over there in North Carolina.
