at the least not after 96 but I have asked the same question without a good answer. Some older Dodge and Chevy rims are suppose to fit also.

I put 1990 E-250 Econoline wheels on my 1972, to replace the stock split rims. Tire center wanted a $700 just to mount the tires, etc... I would stay away from dodge and chevy rims. for one it's silly. and for two the center hole on the chevy is smaller, so it will fit on the back but not on the front. etc... etc...

as a rule 1967-1996 should fit fine.

99 and up Super Duty F250/350 wheels have an 8-170 metric bolt pattern and will not fit. The older non Super Duty F250/350 ended with the 1997 model year. Chevrolet and Dodge still use the standard 8-6.5 bolt circles to this day, however Chevrolets have a smaller hub bore and genally will not fit a Ford hub. GM and Dodges newer late model 8-lug wheels are also very positive offset meaning they're designed to fit inside the wheelwell and may cause interference with your radius arms (4X2) or leaf springs (4X4).
