Are the bolt patters the same on a 2002 and 1972 F250 8 lug wheel? Are there any spacing issues anyone is aware of? Looking to buy different wheels for my truck and I don't know what is compatible.
Thanks,
Erny

I believe that the 3/4 ton pattern was only the same as our trucks up to '97 but I could be wrong.

You are correct Casey, the bolt pattern is different (larger) on the 99+ trucks. You will have to get some sort of adaptor plate to adapt the differnt lug pattern if you really want them to work.

Thanks Casey & Fire Guy. I guess the search continues, I'm not trying to use an adapter plate. I've heard horror stories of those breaking off at high speeds or heavy use.

are the adapter plates or spacers really that bad?
