8 lug wheels

Which wheels will fit on my 1973 f250? What is the bolt pattern? I found some wheels at the bone yard, I think it says on the rim 8x6.5mm. Please help! Chad

Those are metric bolt pattern. They won't fit. You need wheels from a 1996 (1997 HD) or older F-250 or F-350.

Your lug spacing is 8 x 6.50. If you are having trouble finding wheels with that bolt pattern on a Ford many wheels off Dodges will fit, a Chevy will not (hub too small).

You sure it doesn't read 8X6.5"? That's what you need, the 98-up are 8X170mm.
