First, my apologies for asking what I know has been a very common question, but my searches are coming back showing all posts.
I am wanting to swap to a 16” wheel due to what I consider better choices for tire size (225/85/16) but cannot seem to get info on what wheel will fit. I have come across a post that stated 1500 Ram wheels are a fit but I cannot seem to locate the years that apply.it appears 16” wheels were an option on some mid 70’s Fords, and I believe they are 5 on 5.5 with 108mm hubs, which is what is standard on this truck.
’62 F100 4WD, 292 4 speed.
also having issues posting a picture! Tech savvy daughter said it is probably due to my using a mobile device and the forum is set for desktops ?.
Are you wanting new or used? Some of the Ram/Dodge wheels have less inset, the tire sits further inside the wheel well, at least on the 8 lug ones I have had, ended up selling them, looked like a scared cat.
I have 16x8's on my 77, had 255/85/16's and 285/75/16's on them at different times, they also fit on my 66 F100, well, the rims did not with the 33's.
I had the blue and red stripes removed with enamel reducer. I wanted them all white.
I'm running General Tire Grabber UHP summer tires, 255/65R16. They have an aggressive tread. Zero traction problems in light snow and even mud, and I have an open diff. I have 3 inch spacers in the rear and no spacers in front. They're about 29 inches tall, and I believe my speedo is about 3 MPH slow.
Here's how she looks. You can get your hand between the rear tires and the fender, even with a 1,250 pound load. I have no clearance issues there, even over potholes, etc. I have a rebuilt suspension with new 950 pound leaf springs in the back and new coils up front, plus new shocks, so she doesn't move up and down much.
Very nice Craig, thanks for the information. I am more of a skinnier tire type, my truck has the original 292 so I think wide tires may sap too much hp. Also still running with original drum brake as well.
