8 x 170mm x 20" Steel Rim

I own a 1999 F-250 Super Duty that has a leveling kit. I would like to put 20" x 8" wide steel rims on it so I can outfit her with a taller and narrower tire. Does anybody know if there is a manufacturer out there that supplies such an animal. Thanks in advance for any input.

No. Most steel wheels are generally not strong enough for a super duty truck. Unless they have been designed specifically.

factory option for steel 18x8. Only for the F350 XL SRW though. I like them, they look just like the 17"s. I priced them out off of fordparts, but it was $400 a wheel for some reason. Unless I read it wrong. I haven't seen steel 20"s yet though. Maybe some kind of larger truck type would come with some big ol' ugly steels on em'? That would be cool/unique.

I didn't know either. I was poking around to see if steel 20s existed, and found that. I still haven't found any btw. There's wheel shops on line that will makes custom wheels, but I don't know about steel, ..20s none the less. Now I feel better about my steel 17s, lol.
