Rim Compatibility

[hjalbert]

Will rims from a 2003 f-250 (16x8 8lug-6.5) fit my 1985 f-350? If not are there rims from other trucks that will? Thanks I have a warped rim and need to replace it, I figure may as well get nicer ones while I am at it.

a 2003 f-series rim is metric. no worky on the older trucks.
if you are talking about the e-series rims, now that's a different story. up until '99 is compatible. newer than that I have not proven that yet. perhaps someone else around here can put in their .02 into it.

Current Econoline 8 lug rims will fit no problem. They haven't been redesigned since 92, so they are still inch dimension. The Econoline wheels are exactly the same as 98 down F250 / F350.

F250 / F350 rims through 1998 will fit no problem. Keep in mind there were two factory sizes, 16 x 6.5 and 16 x 7. Which width depended on what tire size came from the factory.

If you just have one bent rim, there are places that can safely straighten aluminum wheels (I assume that is what you have). http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=aluminum+wheel+repair&ei=UTF-8&fr=FP-tab-web-t&x=wrt

has anyone had the centers of the H2 wheels machined out to fit our hubs? I know on the GM wheels the hub hole is too small. But what about the dodge wheels?

Hummer wheels hmmmmmm. I could machine out the centers at work. I think I need to be looking for a set I like....

I know the older Dodge wheels work. My spare is on a used Dodge steel rim. Only the older GM wheels had the center hole too small (sounds like a personal problem ) but I don't know about the newer ones.

Hmmm they really wouldnt look bad. I'd have to ditch the center caps, and maybe add 2" - 4" of lift, but this is starting to look like yet another way to spend some cash...

i made the switch last summer. Have a brand new E Series 05 rims on my 90. Bolted up nicely. Heard about a guy that machined the centers out of the hummer rims. You really need to check the hub measurements, cause the centers are definitely hubcentric. I started out desiring the new Chevy HD2500 rim, but the hubcentric stuff canned that idea.

He Said "Hummer!"

Hummer wheels hmmmmmm.

There's only one way "hummer" is going to be associated with my truck... and it ain't going to be the rolling stock!
