F100 v F250 wheels


Hi, New to this and couldn't find this through searching threads. I have a 1971 F100 Camper and love it but, the rear wheels look puny. I wondered if the F250 wheels were larger and/or do the fit the same wheel pattern. I want an original look but with a wider stance to the rear. Thanks for your help from down under in NZ.

No different pattern and lug count.
F100 is 5x5.5"
F250 is 8x6.5"

You cannot use F250 wheels on an F100.

F100's have 5 lug 15" (or optional 16") wheels on a 5.50" bolt circle. F250/350's have 8 lug wheels on a 6.50" bolt circle.

Welcome to the forum Vaughan. That's a very nice truck!

Try posting the above as a stand-alone question in a new post and you'll probably get plenty of answers.

This isn't a criticism, it's just human nature, but I've noticed that most people tend to answer the first question and disregard the rest.

Wheel Vintiques makes OEM style 15x8 and 15x10 steel wheels. Buy A can of spray paint, and they're any color you'd like them to be.

Just poking around their website now....thanks for the heads up - appreciated. 15X8 rears with standard on the front could be ideal!
