Factory Wheel Question
Going to steel wheels on my ‘77 F-250. After some research, the steel wheels from the 8-lug Econoline’s seem to be the popular choice. Does anyone know the breakdown for years if there are any differences between sizes? Specially width? Thanks.

16s. Test fit a steel 16” E-series wheel I found at the local salvage yard and she cleared without any issues. Reason for the post is I picked those 3 up at the salvage yard today and the test one I found last week is 7” wide vs these 3 being 6” wide. Wondering when the years were that they changed or is it an E-250 vs E-350 thing?

Good question. I’m 99.44% sure steelies on 92-07 E250/350 SRW are 16x7, more specifically 7J16 ET6.35 What varies is spec tire width of 225 or 245. Econolines kept the 8x6.5 pattern when F-series 8 bolts changed to 8x170.
