8 bolt wheels for f250

Post by Fordaddict »

Wondering if anyone has a good suggestion on wheels for my 71 f250. I don't want to break the bank but want some decent looking wheels. Would love to see some pictures, I am wanting to go with some wide tires like 275s or 255s.

I went back to old school. Got some steel white 8 lugs off a 97, slid right on. The old stock hubcaps I got slap right on the rims.

Funny, I was the one way back in the 80's, when I was in high school, that hated this look and got my Dad to agree with me and slap on some white wagon wheels, (the 16.5 rim size) funny, now that I'm older, going back to that old stock look :wink:

I can post up a pic is ya want, but yo can find them all over the web.

Stockers with the dog dish caps - can't beat it....... :thup: That's what I did with my F100 only bumped up to a 15x8 with a bigger tire and it looks great........and with what custom wheels cost nowadays it doesn't hut the wallet as bad......... :eek:

I picked up a set of stock steel wheels from a 94 F250, the "crown" hub caps fit right on, nice stock look but I want to see if I can get them widened a little, like maybe 2". Kinda think a wide stock white wheel with those crowns on would give her a real nice look.
