16" rim on 79' 4x4 f-250

Post by mljjones67 »

Hey guys question? I was wondering if a 16" rim would fit on my 79' 4x4 f-250? It has the dana 44 hp in the front, 60 in rear. Because tires are getting a little scarce for the 16.5" this might be an option to keep the stock hubcaps I want to use.
Thanks

im sure it will fit. put the correct size tires back on it to get the speedo correct. or change the speedo gear in the transmission.

Depends on the wheel. Early 16" alloys usually will not fit, late model ones will. 16" steel wheels should fit fine.
