Wheel Interchange
I've been seeing more and more takeoffs and tire specials in 17" for trucks these days. Are there any factory wheels from Ford or other brand trucks that are 17" that will fit the axles in my 95 PSD truck without major modification? I seem to remember the answer from a few years back being 'no' but I thought I'd check again.

and again, the answer is still no.
if you want 17 inch wheels, you will need to buy a set of very expensive aftermarket rims, and then put expensive tires on them.
stick with the 16's, you wallet will like you a lot more.

I'd be tempted even so. I've got a source at a number of dealers and they've got boatloads of new takeoff 17" truck tires. I can get sets for about $150 per 4 tires if I was inclined, that's why I'd asked.

4 new takeoff tires for $150 would make it almost worth the expense to buy a set of aftermarket rims.
but pay very close attention to the backspacing and rim width.
