Are there any issues with putting rims from a 2011 F350 on a 2016 F250? I have a camper on my truck about 98% of the time. I'm not overloaded but I'm on the ragged edge of the weight on my back tires on my stock F250. I would be a little more comfortable with 1 ton wheels and tires with an extra 600 lbs of available weight capacity on the rear axle. I can purchase a complete set of excellent condition alloy rims and very good tires from an F350 that is being upgraded to 19.5" Rickson wheels. I can get the 4 alloy rims, 1 steel rim and the 5 tires for about $800 dollars. The price seems fair, the tires are good for at least another 20K miles.
My question is this. Are the bolt patterns the same? 1 local dealer says yes, another says no. I checked a couple of retailers and the wheels for F250 or F350 have the same part number on one site. Just checking before I make the commitment.

What wheels/tires do you have now? I have not ever heard that the factory alloy wheels do not all the same rating, and I'm pretty certain they do. The big difference comes in the tire ratings themselves. You may be best off with brand new tires. Please post the size of wheels you have and/or want. Thanks.
Exactly what I was hoping to hear, Thank you very much.
17" to 18", no concerns with gearing with a marginally larger tire/wheel. I have 4.30 gears. Tire rating will be 3600 vs 3250. That, and the unsprung weight will be reduced by over 100 lbs, never a bad thing.
very little difference between 17 and 18.. and the 4:30's are a plus.
I was pretty reluctant when I was looking at the truck with the 4.30's, but with the 6 speed tranny, I'm under 2K RPM at 65, AND I can pull a house off it's foundation if the need ever arises.
Pretty sure anything from 99 to 16 stock rim wise should fit. They should all be a 170 x 8 bolt pattern. However, I am one to believe in keep tires to the generation of the truck if going with stock. My truck has 18 inch Lariat rims on it. The truck had 17 inch 5 spoke. I found the rims on Craigslist. I just needed to replace the rubber on the truck before using them as the tire were worn out. Congrats finding the 4.30s used. That is a rare bird. Most order them with 4.30s and a few are installing them after the fact.

The 18" wheel is great for finding tires. When the tires you're getting w/the rims need replacing, you may like the 295/70/18's, rated at 4080 lbs. I ran them in the Michelin Defender LTX, such a nice running tire. And what a find, locating a 4.30 truck!
