Hey guys, quick question. Im looking for new rims for my 87 and I think the newer f250 stock rims with the holes would look good, and they're cheap. Our hubs require a 5" center hole, am I right? Not sure how big the center hole is on those and not sure what other rims might b out there with that big of a center hole. Any suggestions? Thanks!

1999 and up use a 8-170mm lug pattern that will NOT work on the 97down trucks. Old trucks use 8-6.5" lug pattern. You'd need alloy wheels from an old body style truck in order for them to work.

8 on 6.5 is the bolt pattern. I'm not sure of the hole size. The stock rims were made by Alcoa. Up to 1998 will fit. 1999 up new body style has a different bolt pattern. Full size vans have the 8 on 61/2 pattern until something like 2008 and they also had the rims you are speaking of. You can find them used priced reasonable enough. new alcoas can be had for around 900 for all 4 check southwestern wheel. They had the best price on the net and free shipping
