Bumpsides came oem with 16" wheels. Does anyone know the widths from factory? I think the camper came with larger width wheels and tires, but I'm doing research. Would these fit stock 16" rims? I may have acquisition syndrome, but want oem look or period.

Those look like some aftermarket replacement style caps. My experience with those has not been good. They tended to fall off if they fit at all.

1967 F-100's could come with either 15 or 16 " wheels.

Whole computer filling with bumpside ****. The 67's had 15x5 wheels? Seems like stock wheel covers are 15's. It will probably be next Christmas before I get factory Ford 16" wheels and Michelin tires. I thought I heard somewhere the campers had wide wheels and larger tires than 16x5. It is hard getting the right size, too big or too small, and things look totally different in person.

All I know is that the 1967 Ford F-100 Camper Special that my Late Dad bought brand new and I was with him when he bought it. It came with white 15 inch rims with the "dog dish "style hubcaps.

Eddie, you mixing up F-100's with F-250's. Totally different wheels and wheel covers/hubcaps. All the photos you are showing are F-100's with the argent silver hubcaps or full wheel covers. F-250's use the deep dogdish hubcaps shown on the top photo of the blue 67 F-250. F-100's use 15"/16" x 5 lug wheels. F-250's use 16.5"/16" lock-ring x 8 lug wheels.

So the F250 came standard only with the dog dish. These are the exact wheels and tires I'm looking for, from the Camper Special. If anyone knows that tire size please let me know. Also, would a 16" wheel cover from a T-Bird or Lincoln fit a new style F250 8 lug wheel? Those split ring wheels must be hard to find these days. I heard stories from the split ring wheels, someone forgot the air chuck on the tire and when it blew the ring went straight up through the shop roof. The split ring with spoke hubs "held more weight" than a bud wheel, then the uni bilt wheel replaced both on the cmv/semi. You could actually feel a difference with aluminum wheels, "unsprung weight". Now I'm looking at lightweight aluminum wheels, but with my budget I'll have time to think.

Cars used 9"/9 3/8" flanged rear axles which means a flat surface. You have a Dana 60 which has a huge hub sticking out so , NO!. They won't work. Wheel and stock tire sizes are in the info I posted earlier. You can use a web tire size converter to get close to today's sizes. Most people opt for a 235 or 285R16. Inch sizes are very spendy from the old car tire places.
