I think the Bolt pattern is the same. Cause my barge is 16.6 and they fit my f350.

Sounds like a pretty good range, currently with the 4.10s I don't go over 65mph cause it will have me at 2k+ , and I get my best mileage at 60mph with 1.8k

Those are some nice looking wheels though, found some nice looking Alcoas for 200 for the set, but they are for 8x170
