Question about hubcaps

I have decided that I want to put this kind of hubcap on my '72 F-100:





I see a few sets of them for sale on ebay and other places. Most say they are for a 16" or 16.5" wheel. My question is, are there more than one size of these caps? If not, will these fit my 15" stock-type rims? I sure hope so because I like the way they look!

THANKS in advance for the help!!

No F100 or later F150 wheels that am aware of has the correct mount area for these F250 caps.

My son has these hubcaps on his '68 F100. I didn't like them at first but they are growing on me. I like the look with the whitewall tires. These are 15" rims.

I used semi truck clips on my 16x7 steel rims 1970 to 1980 to mount my original F250 hubcaps on my 1955. It is pretty easy to do. You just have to drill a whole, screw, alittle bending for adjustment, and some patience. Let me know if you need more info.

FWIW... ND stated the following about the hubcap pictured above:

1967/68 F250's could have either innie or outie wheels. 1969 and later are all outies.

The outie hubcaps are also the same as 1967/77 F350, 1969/74 E300, 1975/77 E250/350.

There are also two different diameters of the stainless steel hubcaps.

These (TYPE 4) hub caps will not fit F100's, E/F250/350 & E300 only. Were available either painted or stainless, there's two different diameters, as it depends if they're innies or outies.

10 5/16" diameter - Use with innie wheels: 1967/68 F250 2WD & 4WD (rear only).

11 3/4" diameter - Use with outie wheels: 1967/77 F250 2WD & 4WD (rear only) - 1967/77 F350 - 1969/74 E300 - 1975/77 F250/350.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Wheel cover pictured in post 3 (TYPE 5) was introduced in 1966 F100 2WD/4WD as an option, used thru 1977. Also, standard equipment 1967/77 Bronco.

The 4WD cover, instead of an emblem, has a red plastic ring to allow the hub to poke thru, but...

You have to look close, because there were FOUR difference versions of this wheel cover.

Four different versions were available for 1966 Galaxie/LTD ( ridiculous!), one for F100/150 & Bronco.

The cone could be stainless or painted light argent, the emblem could be red/black or all black. F100/150 & Bronco have a stainless cone w/a red emblem or red plastic ring.

The cover pictured in post 3 is missing its black painted accents.

Well, that stinks! Guess I'll have to pick something else. The Type 3 caps shown above are similar and might be my solution. However it works out, I want a small cap on a black rim with the Cooper tires I have with the big white letters. THANKS again for all the info!! You all are obviously on top of your game when it comes to parts!!

Consider a set of these... I found them in a late 60s Econoline hidden in a compartment under the built-in bed. Somebody's stash I suppose but they came home with me for a whopping $12.



There are also these off a newer Econoline. Shown on a 15x8 wheel.:

Welp, strike one on my first attempt to acquire a set of the C8AZ-1130-D caps off ebay. Gonna keep looking. I have a set of the Type 5 caps on the 1973/79 diagram. I may have to sell them first, or figure out some kind of a trade if I am going to get what I am looking for.
