will this bolt pattern fit my f-250

i have a 93 stock f-250 4x4 with the auto and 351. my question is this truck is 8 lug and i have a set of wheels on my 1988 1 ton chevy that are 8 lug. i know that the same bolt numbers does not always equate to the same bolt pattern. anybody know?

The offset may be off. You could always call and ask a tire shop that sells wheels. They should be able to cross reference them.

The bolt pattern is the same, 8x6.5", however, Chevy wheels use a smaller center hole size than Ford and Dodge wheels. You can put Ford and Dodge wheels on a Chevy, but Chevy wheels will only go on Chevy hubs.

Socal is right, Chevy only fits chevy.

And while this is not an answer to the question, you really wouldn't want to put a larger hub-hole wheel on a smaller hub anyway.

The hub is what supports the wheel, the studs are single-shear fasteners simply to hold the wheel flush with the backing plate of the hub. If the studs now have to support more than the clamping load (wheel to backing of hub), this is how studs break.

i probably was not clear, but the 1 ton rear wheels have a hige hub sticking through the wheel that is everybit as wide as my ford f-250, so if ya'll say the lugs are the same, i will jack it up and see.

i had just bought 2 brand new "howdy boss" looking black steel wheels with 33x12.50x16.5 mud tires. the 1 ton wasnt 4x4 so i didnt get the wheels for the front, i use this ford to tow my jeep rockcrawler which, of course has the all black wheels, and my trailer has the all black wheels...

thanks for the help guys, plus i got a bonus when i found out that i have a 1993 f-250 with a solid front axle instead of the p.o.s ifs.

Sure, happy to help. Just wanted to make sure you took into considering hub diameter as well as bolt circle, because I'm sure you don't want to break wheel studs.

Because they never break in your driveway, only on the side of the road when its snowing and your girlfriend is with you complaining she's late for her best friend's bridal shower
