Maybe, if your F-500 has a 6 lug x 8.75" stud piloted mounting. But I thought the six lug was used on F-600s while the 5 x 8" pattern was still used on F-500s. But if you do have 6 lug those will be good widow maker replacements. Stu

I have purchased 20" lock ring rims like those for $35 each at the truck salvage yard. And I doubt those tires are worth $90 each.

That explains it. Regarding awhtx's point, I see that you live in SC. As prevalent as the military is in that part of the country you might do some Google searches for military surplus sellers in the area. Or military salvage yards. You probably could find these pretty reasonable as salvage because yards don't like messing with old tires. Stu

Those would look sooooo cool on a MH especially a 57-60 style ( I'm starting to really like the looks of a 60 f600 MH)

Be careful of what you buy. "Widowmakers" came in 5, 6, and 8 lug versions.
