Interchanging Wheels?????
Well guys, I'm in need of help!! I want to run a minimum tire size of 26570R16. The current wheels I have look like they are really pinching down the tire. I was informed that I would need to purchase a 16x8 5x5.5 wheel. I was also informed that a dodge 1500 would interchange with the Ford rims, all I would need to do is ream out the center hub to fit mine. I've been involved in a whirlwind of comments and I need some info to make sure I'm on the right path.
The wheels are on a 59 f100 - I'm positive they aren't original.
Thanks in advance for your responses.

Yes I'm looking to run just stock steelies for now. As I progress with the full rebuild I'll start gathering up the shiny chromers. I found some dodge wheels from the salvage yard for $25 each. Before I purchase I want to make sure they will fit my F100.

My 2003 Tire and Rim Association manual shows that a 265/70R16" tire has a "Design Rim Width" of 8" and is approved for use on rims having the 7J, 7K, 7L, 7.5J, 8J, 8L, and 8.5J rim widths and drop center profiles.
I would recommend that you look for a set of Accuride 50274 wheels. These are 16" x 7J, have a 5 x 5 1/2" pattern, and were OEM stock wheels on 2003 to 2006 E150 Ford vans. A yard search I'd think would find you a set. If not Wheels Now in WI has them in their catalog. Stu
