16 Inch Wheels?

EagleKeeper001 · Post by **EagleKeeper001** » Wed Jul 12, 2006 2:45 am

I'd like to replace the 15 inch wheels on my 68 F-100 (2WD) with some 16's. Are white spokes readily available in the 5 X 5.5 bolt pattern in that wheel size, or is there another wheel from another make that will work...like maybe the newer Dodge Ram half-ton wheels?

The newer dodge rams have the same bolt pattern. And they come in up to 20 in rims. The only difference is the size of the hub, it won't be hub centric like a ford wheel would be. But that won't matter.

So will the Dodge Ram wheels center bore fit over the front spindle and rear hub?

I don't know about the size of the hub on the dodge wheels, so do your research on that. but I'll add this... if the dodge wheel will fit over your hubs, then you can have any machine shop turn out a set of hub spacers and you wont need to worry about being non hub centric. in a truck especially, you NEED that hub centricity for load bearing purposes.

a hub spacer will fill the gap between the ford hub and the dodge wheel. now if it is the other way around, you can get a hub adapter that unfortunately will also lower the offset of the wheels (which should bennifit you as the dodge wheel has a much higher offset) pushing them out further than stock.

I know that there is a guy on ebay selling custom spacers, adapers and hub rings at very reasonable prices.

I hope this helps you out.

Ken...who might that guy be? The lug pattern is OK, but it looks like spacers are the only thing that will solve the other problems.

Thanks. I just found a couple more places in California. Looks like it'll probably be around $140 for set of 4 ( 2-inch wide ). Be worth it though to get those tires centered in the wheelwells.
