250 rims

I am looking into a 71 F250 specal and it has the factory 16in" rims and I am wondering if it is easy to come by a set on 15in" 8 bolt steal rally style rim's for it?

American racing has some good 8 lug choices for not too much $$$. Don't know about "rally" style though. Or you can post an ad here in the classifieds and maybe someone has what you need.

Just a note, if your F250 has disc brakes a 15" wheel won't clear the caliper.

Barry,
Is there any size restriction if you have the 4 wheel drums?

Not that I know of or heard of Russell.

Oh another thing, make sure the hole in the center of the wheel is big enough for the Ford Dana axle hub to go through.

If that truck has the old style "split rims" you would be a pretty "fart Smeller" to change them out as soon as financially feasiable......fd

NOOO!!any rims that fit ford mfged vehicles starting with the 1999 year models are based on the metric dimensions......and I believe that includes ALL car and truck models.......But for sure , the truck\vans(from 1999 or later models) wheels will not fit vehicles before 1999!!!!!fd
