65' 17" wheel options

Are there any 17" wheel options for my 65 f100?

Really would like a set of torq thrust or something similar?

Money isn't an issue..

Could you point me in a direction or perhaps a link. Don't really know anything at all about wheels.

If using genuine Ford wheels, you'll have to change the fenders. Finding a set of these wheels in todays world will be difficult, to say the least.

5 lug 5.50" bolt circle 17.5" x 5.5" wheels optional: 1956/58 F100's, 1959/66 F100 2WD & 4WD.

1961/66: Require fenders w/a 45" radius that came standard equipment on F100's with 17" wheels, F250's with 17" & 19" wheels, all F350's, some F100/250 4WD's.

Those should fit the hub just fine with the 3.42" center bore. Have you converted to disc brakes? If concerned, you can check with a tech at Summit about fitment applications for that particular wheel.
