F100 Wheel Options

Post by MAK »

Let’s see your wheel pics! What common factory installed wheels have you guys found out there that look good and are the proper 5x5.5 and backspacing for our F100s? Did some searching and couldn’t find a thread with an extensive listing. Dodge and Jeep seem to have some fits but I haven’t seen a lot of detail or photos. Are there any good options using late-model take-offs? So many people these days immediately upgrade their factory aluminum wheels right after they get their new vehicles home… Not interested in anything that would require spacers.
Let's see what you've found that looks good. :wink:
Thanks

Don't know if I'm going to use them or not, but I got a set of wheels from a Ddoge truck (early 90's I think). But the center caps won't work well. Haven't decided if I'm going to paint/powdercoat them, or chrome them.

Those Dodge wheels are definitely unusual. Don't think I have seen any like that before. Could look good if you find center caps.
Ezernut, I've admired yours in some previous posts. Do I remember you saying something about a problem with the rear fit? What size are they?
Thanks

I do have the centercaps, ....somewhere.... , but they have the dodge ram logo on them. I haven't seen may of those style of wheels. That's why I'm considering using them. 'Ya know.... dare to be different. :thup:

it almost looks like the ford style center caps would fit on the dodge wheel shown.

you can ford a river or stream and get to the other side, if you dodge it you will not, and if you drive a chevy to the levee it will run dry and the music will die.

Yeah, 20" sounds way too big.

I agree. I'm thinking 16" wheels are about as big as I would go.
