Need to do tires on the new girl

[eyoung429]

Currently has steel 16x7 rims on it.

What (if any) factory aluminum rims will fit the '83 F250?

What is the tallest tire that you can run on one of these?

I have a set of 33x12.50x15 on the FrankenBronk and 265/75R16 on the '97 F150

You can get rims from a 95 to 97 F250 or F350 or any Econoline with 8 bolts.

You can run 35s on these if you cut the bumper, with that being said, my 33s rub too when i turn, but im used to that. I picked up a set of alumn rims, nice ones for 300 with tires on them. Where are you located at, i may be able to help ya get a set, cheap.

The wheels Mike is talking about are made by Alcoa. In my opinion the nicest wheels you can get for these trucks without a lift and going to huge tires. Cleaned up with a set of BFG All Terrains in 235/85-16 for tall tires or 265/75-16 for wider tires is a nice combination and should yield no rubbing issues. You can pick up the wheels used for about $300.

I believe the E series used the standard bolt pattern all the way up to 2006.

The Super Duty's 98-08 use the Metric pattern.
