Will these wheels work?
A guy is selling a set of american racing wheels and tires with decent tread for $200. They came off his 1995 F250 and they are 32" tires, so want to know if they will fit my stock height 1984 F250. Also, is this a good deal? Thanks.

5x5.5 ran up until the new body style 1997 Pickups, the Econolines ran it a good bit longer, at least until 01, I'm not sure exactly when they switched.
The OP was asking about an F250 though, which are 8x6.5"(GM and Dodge still are) until the Super Duty's came out.
32's should fit nicely on a stock 84 if your springs are decent, and, that price would probably not cover the cost of replacing the wheels alone.

What style of wheels are they? Aluminum or steel?
Assuming you still have the huge stock 1-1/16" lug nuts, for a steel wheel, they will work, but, for an aluminum wheel, you want a closed lug nut, the thread pattern is 9/16"-18 and the most common closed nut that size is a 7/8" hex. All the A/R wheels I have had just use a standard taper seat on the lug nuts, it's just that you need a smaller external diameter nut so it'll fit in the recess of the wheel, and a closed nut always makes life easier when it comes time to take the wheels off.
