i'm trying to find out if these 8 lug 99 f250 ford aluminum wheels will fit on my 94 4x4 dodge. my concerns are the obvious lug pattern, drum brake clearance, and stance. i would prefer steel wheels but these are cheap with tires on them!! the tire dimensions are the same just not sure about everything else. thanks for your help.

no they wont the ford wheels are a metric pattern 8 on 170mm the dodge pattern is 8 on 6.5 inch
Sorry

has ford always used metric pattern? or is there certian year 8 lugs i could use on my dodge? what about chevy,gmc? i have been shopping for used wheels with balanced decent tires on them on craigslist and i was just wondering what 8 lugs would fit. did dodge change their 8 lug dimensions too at some point?

97' CTD

old fords used 8 on 6.5" new fords as said use metric Chevy/GMC still and have always used 8 on 6.5".

I think ford switched to the metric pattern in 98 anything before that should fit
the chevy is the same pattern but the center hole is smaller
I believe any dodge wheel should fit

some one correct me if i'm wrong

My dads wheels on his 94 F250 fit my truck but the offset is defferent.

Ford changed in 99, with the Super Duty.
You are almost completely correct that any Dodge rims will fit. The factory alloys from the 01-02 trucks will take a little grinding (I'm thinking it is on the brake drums, but not positive about that)

The 01-02 alloys wont fit over a drum brake D80 I know this from experience
Some older dodge steel wheels might need some grinding on the center hole if your truck is equipped with a D80, I also know this from experience

Good luck on the wheel search

thanks for the correction, displacedtexan

Between all of us we will remember all the little ifs, ands, and buts

I put a set of the new alloys on my old 97 when I sold the truck so I could keep the aftermarkets that were on it. I just used an angle grinder and took down the lip on the brake drums. I did just enough to fit the wheels (which wasn't much at all) and they fit like a dream.

thanks, that helps a lot. that saved me an hour drive in traffic and 'manually' checking to see if they fit. my favorites are the stock steel utility looking wheels i think popular on early 2nd gens. that would be the ideal find for me-- those wheels with some decent tread.
