86 f250 bolt pattern to 92 f250 ? will they swap ?
 

Hello I have 86 f250 want to swap wheels and tires to 92 250 ? thanks

They'll fit. If I remember right, Ford had the 8 on 6.5" bolt pattern from the late 40s-early 50s up to 97-98. GM and Dodge still have it so it want rims from them, they'll usually fit too. 99 and newer Ford use a 8 on 170mm pattern and they don't fit.

right on thanks Dzl man

The wheels will swap, ford used the same 8 lug pattern up until late 98.

The full float axles ford used have a larger center hub than chevy/dodge and the OEM wheels wont fit over it.

So does that mean that factory GM aluminum rims wont fit my truck? A buddy of mine just bought an 03 GMC Dirtymax and it has the GM rims that I like and have always wondered how they'd look on a Ford. He said this coming spring I could probably have them, but if they wont fit... :humm:

u can go to town with a carbide bit and open the center hole out. i had h2 rims on my 86, had to remove a 1/8 inch or so from the center hole to fit.

Did you ever have any problems after doing that? Was it real hard to keep it a round hole?

wasnt to hard. the lugnuts center the rim to the hub, so reallt the hole can be a little off and still work. it isnt hub centric. look at any aftermarked rim, the hole is loose over the hubs.

i know i'm posting in an old thread, but i just wanted to inform you that if you hone the hub hole yourself the next time you get tires put on and balanced you will have a hard time balancing them, most shops don't have the adapter that holds the wheel to the balancer by the bolt holes, 90% of the machines clamp the rim to the machine by the hub hole and if it is off center you will never have a proper balance.

balanced? wtf is that? lol

lol, i balance all my tires, my 33"35"36", i batter my internal organs enough off road and in the bars so on the highway i try to be nice to them..

the h2 rims i had were on my off road rig.

the 40's i have now are balanced, with equal. will never use wheel weights again.

Never used it, where I'm at you don't see many lifted rigs running big meats, kinda sad if you ask me, iv see it in tow trucks and cube trucks but I removed and used wheel weights. Up here if I ran 40s the local fuzz would have a field day..... ha ha I got dirty looks with 36s on my old stock hight 75 F250 "high boy"

I've seen plenty of big tires in WNY. :c:

Quebec sucks for big trucks, go east or west and its another story.
