17 in rims on 1976 F250 4x4
I was in a discussion with a friend and we were undecided as to the fact that the 17 in rims were standard to canadian biult or american biult trucks. Please advise.

17 in rims on 1976 F250 4x4
Guys,
My '76 F-250 came with 7.50 x 16 tires on 16" diameter split rims. These rims were an option that allowed the use of tube-type tires. These rims were considered a safety risk and subsequently discontinued.
The standard tires were either 8.75 x 16.5 or 9.50 x 16.5 tubeless tires on 6.75 x 16.5 and 8 x 16.5 rims respectively.
I have also seen 17" split rims on some late 60's and early 70's F-250's.
On F-100's & F-150's used 15" rims, but then again I have also seen 16" rims on some late 60's and early 70's F-100's.
There was a lot more production variations on those trucks than there is on the newer trucks.
