Looking at these wheels- 1974 F250 -fitment ?
any input on these wheels. Looking at them for a 74 highboy.
was going to do the 17x9 , with probably 35" tires.- possibly 37" if they will fit.
will I be ok with rim width, backspacing and offset?
was originally looking at the MT wheels but came across these and they seem like a good look.
open to any suggestions or comments.

Getting on tirerack.com and looking up wheels for a '87 F250 (they don't do sizing on dentsides) the most common offset for a 17x9 aluminum wheel is -12mm. A few show 18mm offset as well. If you look at the ebay listing they have a compatibility feature. Entering the same vehicle says that those particular wheels will not work. That is not to say that if you can't find the same wheel line with the correct offset.

thanks for the response. I wasn't sure on fitment bc so many guides dont list 1973-79 trucks.
I was pretty much just going off the bolt pattern and rim size- This wheel did have a 5 backspace which I was unsure about- (it looked like 4.5 was more ideal)
so it soundS like i need to find 4.5 BACKSPACE WITH -12 OFFSET?

15" STEEL wheels will work with the correct brake / offset combo
Here is my thread on the topic...https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/1...alipers-2.html
I just went through this last year.
15" Alloys are a different story, if you go alloy, you might want to go with 17s to avoid any potential issues.

been searching a bunch and still am not sure about fitment.
wheel manufacture wasnt sure so they referred me to a dealer and the dealer thought 5 backspacing would cause issues on my truck he said the rim would contact the leaf springs on full turn
This was for a 17x9 wheel with 5 backspacing a zero offset..
i also found a similar looking pacer wheel at 4.53 back space and -12 offset
Or
pro-comp 4.75 , -6 offset
I have a dana 60 if that matters? saw a couple post referencing slightly different backspacing on the dana 44 vs 60

The white supercab has a D60 front and the gray truck has a D44. Both leaf spring trucks.
Both 17x9 with 5" BS and no rub full lock.
The D60 seems about 1.5" wider WMS to WMS but I have not measured.
I am sure the info is available easily online.
Regardless, in the front, it puts the tires flush with the edge of the fender on a D44 truck, and about .75" out on a D60 truck.
