2005 ford super duty rims

[GWBourne]

well, i have torn my tires up to much and will be needing new ones in a few thousand miles. a friend of mine just lifted his stuper duty and has the stock rims and tires. its a 2005 4x4 F250 with a 6. 0 powerstink. will the rims fit? meaning are they hubcentric or lug centric? the tires have identicle specs for size and load rating. i want to buy 19. 5's in the future, but dont have the cash now. the backspacing is the same and i know i ned new lug nuts... but will they fit and be safe?



thanks

The last I knew Ford uses a metric bolt pattern, therefor, they should not fit.

 

[mberry]

I don't know if Jeff is right or not, but the tires themselves are exactly the same specs as Dodge's and will fit your stock wheels.

 

[GWBourne]

yeah, i like the aluminum rims, and they are lighter. less un sprung weight and a little nicer to look at. i guess ill call the dealer up and find out the specs of the furd bolt pattern.



thanks

The wheels I had on my Ford in 2001 were 16" and had a metric bolt pattern. I think that still holds true. What size are the wheels on the 05 Ford? Are they using 17's now too?

 

[Coolslice]

I thought the SD were coming with 18's, at least some of them are anyways.

They are hubcentric. The 3rd gen wheels i put on my 97 were lugcentric.

Jeff is right Dorf uses 8x170mm pattern and Dodge uses 8x6. 5

 

[nickleinonen]

the ford bolt pattern is 8x170mm while ours are 8x6. 5". . 170mm is about 6. 7". they will not bolt on...



they have 17" as standard now, and 18" and 20" are options on different packages [harley, kingranch... ]



and their duallys have 245/70 on them i believe

Hope that means a better selection on 18 and larger tires soon for the CTD?

I hope so. Oo.

The Dodge OEM wheels are also hubcentric.



Yes I am hoping more 18" tires will come available. I think Ford went to a deeper offset to about the same as Dodge too, so MAYBE, just MAYBE, we'll FINALLY get a decent aftermarket wheel selection too!!

It doesn't look to happen anytime soon.
