yes they will at that bolt pattern. Just be sure the center hole is big enough to fit over your axle. I've seen ford wheels that were too small in the center

Yea nj sucks I know that. I went and looked at the wheels tonight. They werent bad but the one rear wheel was run loose and egged out the lug holes. I made him an offer and he said he will get back to me. I hope he does take my offer then I will just need to buy one new one.

I bought a 12 ton eager beaver trailer. I got a really good deal on it. I was worried it may be a little to heavy for my dually at first, but I was barely touching the back overload pads. I wanted a trailer heavy enough to haul anything I could load on it. I get 6 to 8 tons of wood pellets every summer when they are the cheapest for my parents and I. I haul Crown fork lifts from work to scrape. And I wanted a trailer heavy enough to haul my dads Case 580 CK.

From what I understand we need the pre-super duty pre 98 Ford Alcoa's. Has something to do with the hub vs. lug centered wheel.

I have had his 3 axle lowboy loaded with 8ton of wood pellets. That was alot for my dually! I have hauled crown sc forklifts from work in the bed of my truck on 4 seperate occasions. Each time I had 7k in the bed. Thats as close as I have seen my rubber bumps almost touching!
