AUDIOADDICT02 Posted June 8, 2012 Report Posted June 8, 2012 (edited) Can someone help me out here? As most you may know by now, I drive an older ('84) F250 & well, my tires are going bald, but getting 16.5" tires is hard as f*ck, I literally went to 10 tire shops & only one had a 16.5 tire, old as hell for $50. So basically, I want to replace the almost extinct 16.5" wheels with newer ford 8 lug wheels, only problem is my bolt pattern is 8x6.5(165mm) & the wheels I can get for cheap are 8x117mm. So can I safely put those wheels on my truck? or do they absolutely have to be 8x6.5?

NeoTokyo22 Posted June 12, 2012 Report Posted June 12, 2012 I know a couple guys that run 170mm adaptors mind you these are on mud trucks but none the less thats one route you could go Quote Current Ride '95 Cutlass Ciera Pioneer DEH-P8300UB HU Alpine SPR-69C Rears Boston S35 dash speakers Crescendo Audio CCX65's glassed in the doors Sundown audio SAX-100.4 Kicker ZX1500.1 Fusion PP-SW150 15" sub (switching to something better when I get some cash) Rockford Fosgate RCF2D optima yellow top D75 stinger 1/0 gauge wiring
AUDIOADDICT02 Posted June 13, 2012 Author Report Posted June 13, 2012 Thanks for the response man. The problem with that is the adapters are $200 a pair, iirc, & they would make my truck look hella mexiflush since I'm planning to put normal truck wheels, not mud grapplers. As of now, I'm stuck between late model Chevy 8 lug factory wheels or H2 wheels since they are 8x6.5 bolt pattern.

HunterJohnson Posted June 13, 2012 Report Posted June 13, 2012 you can always get the rims re drilled to fit your bolts or you can get adapters Quote Scion tC SQ BuildiPad mini, lots of fabrication, daily drivenFord Explorer C Pillar Wall Build Just a cheap car to destroy with bass
AUDIOADDICT02 Posted June 14, 2012 Author Report Posted June 14, 2012 I did not know that, I'm going to look into that since adapters are out of the question.
