Help Identifying these wheels

Does anyone recognize these wheels? I saw these in a photo online and like the look of them.

Could be Hummer wheels, I think they had similar.

A google image search of just a wheel says Excursion but I haven’t seen those wheels on an Excursion.

They look heavy as heck.

And those are the winter wheels. What do they have for the rest of the year?

Excursion is different bolt pattern.

Good catch on bolt pattern!

Most H2 factory wheels have 7 spokes and flat center cap that wouldn’t fit a floating axle hub.

Forgot about the full floater, I put steel American Racing on my E350, no fan of aluminum when shops overtighten all 8 lug nuts.

Unknown what they use for winter wheels. This is a van for sale online. No other Ford vehicles share the bolt circle and center bore of the E-250-/350. They are pretty close to the look of an Excursion wheel from 18 years ago.

Thanks for your help!

Rethinking this a little more, I notice that the stance of the E350 in the photo seems a little more aggressive than a standard E350. I wonder if it hasn't got wheel adapters on it, making the track wider, and then allowing another wheel bolt pattern to fit.

The front looks stock but the rear definitely has spacers at least.

Uh the Econoline has the standard 8 lug pattern that every Ford truck and van used all the way to 1997, when the truck went metric. Chevy amd Dodge have also been the exact same pattern on their 3/4 and 1 ton trucks, tho some did have a aller center hole on older Dodges. So there is a huge market of used wheels, just avoid the 16.5 as tires are really hard to find for those.

I meant it has Michelin winter tires so I’m wondering what they have for summer wheels.

Are these the same wheels?

True, the older Fords from 25 years ago and older did have the same pattern, but most of those were also 6.5 inch and 7 inch wheels versus the 8 inch and up of more recent years and finding 25 year old wheels in great shape is a bit of a stretch. I've come across a bunch of wheels with smaller center bores, but none yet with larger.

Sure looks like it. I'm thinking that they must have used wheel adapters, which would also explain the apparent wider stance. Thanks Sixto!
