Wheels?

Which years of Ford F250 wheels will fit our trucks. Mine is a 92 2wd. I am having a problem finding wheels that are priced within my price range that are listed for my truck. I have a set of 16"x7" aluminum wheels now but three of them are running out of round and have been ever since I bought them years ago off Ebay. I am tired of the shakes so I want to replace them. I have heard that 2nd Gen wheels will fit with a spacer of some sort but I carry a lot of weight with my trailer on it and not sure if I trust adapters. Anyone have a good source for wheels for our trucks? I can find wheels that have the correct backspacing and the 8X 6.5 lugs but not sure that they will fit.

I went with the Ford steel wheels junk yard $20.00 each wheels are 16><7.
I would stay away from the 16.5. I could not find tires for them.
I think pre 97 trucks and Vans maybe 2000.

I have seen a few with the alcoa chromies around and I am sure you could find some online check craigs list or kijiji and there are tons of aftermarket options for decent money

Stock chevy wheel's have a smaller center hole rule of thumb is ford will fit dodge and chevy but chevy won't swap due to center hole this is on stock wheel;s only aftermarket are all the same .

I just put a set of Pacers on mine that come in the proper back spacings. $540 on the truck. New tires were in order and always wanted the Alcoas and just decided to quit searching for good ones. here's the pics. page 3 of the thread.
