2011 E350 Wheel Question
Hey Guys new to the forum! I have recently purchased a 2011 E350 12 passanger van that I have installed a wheel chair lift in for my daugher. The van currently has the factory 16" steel wheels with the hub caps on it. I have found a guy who has a set of 17" aluminum rims off of a F250. These wheels have 265 70 R17 Michelin tires that are in good shape that I can buy for a good price. My question is will I have any problem putting these rims and tires on my van or should I try and find a set of 16" aluminum rims?

Typically the F-Series and E-Series wheels are not interchangeable. Not sure the 265 Michelin's would fit your chassis without some front rubbing during hard turns or severe road bumps.
I'm running a set of 245/75-R16's on my '00 E250 and its a close fit. The E350 should have come stock with 245's.

I got a '99 E350 and I was running 265/75r16 with no problems. Hell I even had a 33x12.5r16.5 as a spare for a little while and even pulled a heavy trailer with it and never had a problem. The factory size is 245/75. But as JWA said the E and post F series bolt patterns aren't the same. I found that out the hard way

What year F250? 1999 and later F250/350 wheels are metric .. won't fit any year Econoline!
No Econoline has metric wheels, all 1969/74 E300's, 1975/2014 E250/350's have 8 lug wheels on a 6.50" bolt circle, as do 1953/98 F250's, 1967/98 F350's.
