Factory wheel question

I have the factory wheels with 305 tires on them for sale and I have a guy interested in them. He wants to put them on a 94 ford 250 but didnt know if they would fit. He said that center to center of the holes have to be 6 1/2 inches across. I dont have the wheels in front of me so I was wondering if anyone on this wonderful site would know. thanks.

Stock wheels hub openings are only about 4.8" in diameter, a bit too small for that Ford.

Are you looking for the lug pattern measurement? If so, Dodge is 8x6.5". I believe some older model Fords use this pattern but not the newer ones.

I'm pretty sure when they went to the new body style SuperDuty in 98 is when it switched from 8x6.5 to 8x170mm

The Dodge wheels should interchange with the 94 Ford.

I tried the stock Alcoa wheels that came on my 97 350 Crew and they fit the Dodge no problem, backspacing is a little different and they do set in more on the Ford, makes it look a little "skinny"

don't forget the center of the wheel. GM wheel bolt pattern will fit our trucks but without machining the center just a smidge they won't fit the hub. check the diamter of your wheel compared to the required diamter of a the ford to make sure

Thank You Chris

I had indeed forgotten about the hub diameter
