16" FORD EXCURSION RIMS 8x170 adapted to 69 F-250 Camper Special 8x6.5 with 1/2 20 studs

I also recently purchased a complete set of Ford Excursion Alloy Rims which I am planning to adapt to my 69 F-250,

I would like to get them adapted properly.

Where can I get info about the Original Stock Rim and Tire Size , offset and Backspacing for my truck?

What should

What should I ask this cl seller?

He says, "... 8 bolt trailer tires and rims off a stock trailer, rims are 16x7 and a 8 bolt by 6.5" pattern, 4.9 center hole ... 235/85r16 tires ..."

My truck is a 1972 F-250 Camper Special w/8-bolt Dana 60.

I want to make sure they will clear my drum brakes & such.

What would you ask him?

I'd ask him how much he wants and where he's located.... condition of the tires would also be a good thing to know.

He is w/in

Should I ask about him about offset? Or brake clearance? He says it's a 'stock trailer' I have know idea what that means.

He is with/in 50 miles of me. Wants $65 a piece. They look ok. Pretty mid-life. I'd probably offer him for $50. Especially w/o knowing exactly how well they'll fit.

This is a stock trailer. They vary of course, but you get the idea.

Is there a picture of what they look like?

Trailer wheels are usually pretty close to zero, or slight negative offset.

Ok

Ok. I figured it was like that but I did not know if there were any standards.

With zero offset. How does that compare to my truck's axle? I'd check but it lives a ways away atm.

There is so much to learn. I always took the old rims for granted. Thank you guys for the help. Hope it helps others too. A lot of split rims are going away.

They might stick out a little more but it shouldn't be a problem.

UPDATE ON 2004 DODGE RAM 2500 RIMS adapted to FIT 69 F-250

Here are the pictures of the STOCK 2004 Dodge Ram 2500 Rims with 35x12.5x17 Tires

Using Wheel Adapters 8x6.5 to 8x6.5 1.5 inches thick. Aluminum. They do work, however I would feel better with another 1/4 to 1/2 inch especially if I was going to carry a heavy load which would lower the bed down, these might and probably would rub on the bed. However putting a heavy load on rear wheel adapters is not a good idea unless the adapters are high quality and or made of Steel instead of Aluminum. Really not sure how many #s or tons you can carry with the Wheel Adapters. Since I picked these up used for $20.00 I think I'm going to use them and just keep an eye on 'em. I really don't foresee carrying any heavy loads so we'll see what happens.
