I used to have a 2002 F350 V-10 Ford truck 2 wheel drive which was totaled in a wreck but I kept the wheels and tires from it because I had new tires installed on it couple of month before the truck was totaled. The wheel and tires that was on the V-10 were LT265 75 R16 Load E which I took off and kept before they junked the truck.

I recently purchased a 2007 F350 6.0L 4 wheel drive truck since I got it for a good price. The tire on ii are LT275 70 R18 Load E. When I purchased the truck, it didn't have a spare tire and I pointed it out to the dealer so the dealer quickly looked around in his lot and pulled a spare from another F350 and threw it in the truck. The spare tire is LT265 75 R16 Load E

My question is since I didn't really checked the spare actual size when I buy the truck, will it hurt the 6.0L if I had to use the LT265 75 R16 as a spare if I had a flat tire?

Second question is there any pro or con if I went ahead and swap all wheels/tires on the 6.0L LT275 70 R18 with the wheels/tires from the wrecked truck which are LT265 75 R16.

When I put the LT265 75 R16 next to the LT275 70 R18 I know R18 is a bigger wheel but the tires look both same size on the outer circular to me.

Will it screw up the PCM or something etc?

Thank you for feedbacks!

The rims will not fit.
Ford changed the center hub size in I think 05.

 

16" rims won't fit over the brake calipers after 2005. Some aftermarket 17s barely fit

 

Where can I get a plain looking steel rim to use as a spare tire that will fit?

Does it have to be R18 specifically for Ford F350? or will any R18 with 8 lugs do?

Thank you

Bill

 

Not specifically R18, i have aftermarket R17s that have alot of clearance. Stock R18 steel will work too, and be cheaper. Rim should be R(xx)/ 8x170mm

 

Thank you

i am going to try some local junkyard to see if I can find one steel stock R18 rim and hopefully it won't be too expensive since it something that may never get used.
