Stock Steelies?

[Ks Highboy]

Found these stock steel wheels and they have some differences. The black one has gaps where the inner wheel attaches to the rim and the white one is solid. The black ones came off a 67 F250 and I don't know what the white ones came off of. I have two more like the black ones but the offset is different, the rim looks shallower by an inch. Can't decide if I want to run two different styles but keep the same offset or run all four that look like the black one. I never new there were so many variables in these wheels until I started digging.]

heres the shallower wheel that is like the[ Image ] black one.

this one looks like it uses a innie fitting hubcap.

as far as the others. all three big automakers used mostly the same lug paaterned wheel. because of the dana lug spacing. some chevy wheels can have a smaller center for the hub to fit on. but all 8 lug ford and i think all dodge wheels will bolt right on with no problems.

finding a complete matching set is part of the fun of redoing these trucks the way you want them.

Well, I know they will fit a ford axle since the guy that had the white ones had them on a pickup bed trailer. And yes they are for the innie hub cap which is fine. I think they look pretty cool. Just not sure if I'll notice the offset difference once they are on the truck. They are all 16.5x9.75 but the two black ones are a 6" backspacing and the two white ones that look identical are a 5" backspacing. The other two white ones are 6" backspacing but they are the solid wheel all the way around rim.

The white wheels are actually pretty hard to come by. They were used for rears on trucks carrying heavy loads like campers. The 4X4 guys are begging for them if you have 4 (and yes, I do have a pair myself). The later outie ones are also tough to come by but easier than the early innie style. There are a lot of people who want them and I would have mine sold (well I did he has been waiting a long time) if I could just find the time to get the tires dismounted! I run them on many of my F250's. Hawkrod

Thanks Hawkrod. I love the looks of that dent! That is the look I am going for. If that guy doesn't buy em let me know.

Did they make those in 5 lug?

[Hawkrod]

There were not stock ones in 5 lug but they did make them as they were very popular with the Jeep crowd. I have had both 15 X 8 and 16.5 X 9.75 in 5 lug and I also know there were other sizes. You have to remember that there were about a half dozen companies that made rims for Ford but they also made them for the other manufacturers and for the aftermarket and so you will find a lot of the components were used to make combinations that Ford did not offer. This is good because the Ford caps will fit many of the other rims. Hawkrod
