Wheels....A certain look I'm going for

I have a picture of a truck, maybe somebody here on the forum, which has a tire and wheel look I want to get on my truck. Can anybody identify the wheels on this truck? They look stock and I love the hub caps.

And this one...

They are just stock wheels and I believe mod 80's hub caps.

Both trucks have stock steel rims and hub caps. 2nd truck the rims almost look to narrow or the tires are to wide, see all the rolled side wall....

TYPE 12: The blue trucks 4WD front hubcaps were introduced in 1984 (E4TZ-1130-A). The rear 4WD hubcaps (same as 2WD) were introduced in 1978.

Thanks numbers & 77_79! Would those hub caps work if I were to have a replica stock wheel made in a 17x8.5"?

No idea if the 2 trucks in the pics have 16.5 or 16's...Why not just get some stock steel wheels from a newer Ford from a JY, up to a 98 they are 8 on 6 1/2?

And I would bet they would be 16's. No idea on the hubcap mount up.

Ford went metric 8 on 177MM in 99, if I remember right.

It's 8x170mm for the trucks but the vans still used the old 8 on 6.5" spacing. I never looked but I bet they have the hub cap mount on the newer ones.
