8 lug wheels

On ebay there are tons of wheels that are off of late model chebbys
Any one know if they will fit a '79 F250? If center caps from the tire store will fit I don't think they would look bad on a Ford

I have heard that only Ford and Dodge wheels are interchangeable. The Chevy's have a different diameter for the hub, I think.

I honestly dont' know if Chevy has jumped on the metric bolt pattern bandwagon. Call someplace like Nat'l Tire and ask 'em.

I seem to recall hearing Chevy was still using good 'ol 8 on 6.5, but I could be very wrong. If so tho, they'll work for you.

A friend of mine got a good deal on rims with the chevy center hole. He had the hole enlarged for the Ford size center.
