Salvage Yard Wheel Options
Hey Fordies. I'm considering digging around the salvage yard for some nu2me aluminum wheels. I'm curious which Dodge and Chevy wheels might fit my 95 F350. My current wheels are factory steel. 16 inch with 8x6.5 bolt pattern. I'd like to stick with 16 inch wheels because I have a nice set of 16 Cooper tires that I would like to keep. Any ideas what my options are?

I almost bought a set of stock tires & wheels off a Dodge 8 lug, the off set was wrong & rubbed my front suspension so that I lost 1/4 to 1/2 a turn on each end so I passed. I've seen a local Ford running GM 8 lugs at a local parts store, talked to the owner & he said they were a direct fit (no spacers & no rubbing). My buddy is running one of my extra steel wheels as a spare on his 2001 Suburban 2500 (since someone stole his from underneath) and he's used it on the Sub w/o any trouble. Hope that helps.

Yeah, the factory Alcoa are great. Just a little hard to find and pricey.
