Exclamation Urgent question about wheel fitting

I have an 85 F250 6.9, and I want to know if wheels from a 94-01 3/4 ton Ram will fit my truck. I have a friend who lives about 50miles away, and he said for $100 I can have his wheels with the tires (new BFG's!!!) so long as they fit my truck. I am sure the bolt pattern is the same, but I am worried about the hub.....

The urgency is because here in VA we are about to have a hugh snow storm by tomorrow morning, and I need tires bad because I have to work night shift this weekend about 30miles away. Thanks.

I have a set of Ultra wheels on my '94 f250 from a dodge 3/4 ton van. Fit great.

I know it would look goofy, but can you use the hubcaps too?

What hubcaps did/can you use?

You mean the wheel center caps to cover the hub/axle? No, the Sterling 10.25 was WAY bigger. I don't run hub center caps. I think they look goofy on the Fords due to how big they have to be. I just painted the hubs black and ran it that way.
