I have a 73 250/2wd.. Why change to 5-lug? Someone else who has replied to your thread pretty much said the same thing to me and after really thinking about it.... I agree. Why go backwards. Best of luck either way.

I agree on the rim options but for drag racing you can get a set of 16" drag radials. I have 275/55-16 M&H DragRadials. And if x275 can go 4's in the 1/8th I bet it could work for you.
It's just a lot of work just for rim options.. My2Cents

Summit Racing/Jegs has all sort of aluminum racing style rims in a 8 on 6 1/2 wheel lug nut pattern.
And yes with a F250 you have a 8 lug Dana 60 rearend, and a long bed I bet? Yea not exactly a "race" truck configuration, but if you give it a serious weight loss program, a BB and a shot of nitrous you can get down the track ok, even on steelies. lol
Granted a short bed F150 with a 5 lug 9" rear end, again a BB with nos would get down it a lot better and a lot lighter in the beginning.
