wtf. . . .


this came into work today



exactly how many of these trucks were made? It was a 1999 F150. There was no way we had these rims.

 

The only trucks I have seen like this are the Light Duty F250s, looks just like F150, only with Heavy Duty axles, brakes, and suspension.

 

My 08 is a 7 lug

 

Really? is it the 7700 payload package. I thought they stopped the 7 lug in the 04-08 body style. Post pics please.

 

'99-'03 F150 7700's have 7 lug wheels among other improvements over the standard F150. We have a bunch of them at work (gas/LPG bifuel), but in general I don't see alot of them around.

 

Heavyduty pack
Ford F150 XLT Supercrew,8 Foot bed 163" wheelbase.
5.4L v8(13-17mpg)
Heavy duty battery 72 Amp
Lt 245/70R x17D BSW All Terain tries
10.5 gear set with 4.10 rear axle
17" 7 lug wheels
upgraded Springs
upgraded Radiator and Auxiliary Transmission oil cooler
Heavy Duty shock absorbers and frame
2700Ibs payload
8200Ibs GVWR

 

yup 7700 package has 7 lugs.

99 they also had the F250 with the F150 body on it

 

If you do a Search you will find some more on this, But I have a 07 7-lug the diffrence is the 04-08 are 8200GVWR insted of the 7700 like the older ones
04-08's came with 4.10's and a 10.25 ring gear in the back standerd 8.8 in the frunt! Also it is still made in the 09's. Cant see why they cant make more wheel options for us 7-luger's

 

It is all about demand. As a lotof people have said, most of these are work trucks, not a huge demand for aftermarket wheels. Even the standard 97-03 models, are hard to find wheels for. Most of the manufacturers, are happy to point out 5 x 135 is an obsolete bolt pattern, and cannot justify cost of a production run.

 

Found this on a different website.

Rim Package #1: 17" x 7.5 7 Lug Reagant Steel/Chrome Part# 1007C; Center Cap Part# 1130B; Lug nut Part# 1012.

Rim Package #2: 18" x 7.5 7 Lug Machined Almn. Part# 1007D; Center Cap Part# 1130D; Lug nut Part# 1012.

Those are Ford part numbers. Go to the parts man in your local stealership and talk to them about it. Guess the wheels have a big price tag. Somebody said Centerline would be much cheaper. Not sure if Centerline makes 7 lug wheels.

 

I had a 2000 F150 7700 series. Was a PITA to find wheels for it. Found some at Les Schwab Tire Center.

 

Ultra Wheel builds what they call the 164p. Its an aluminum mod comes in 16in.
They also build the 175 rogue that comes in 16 and 17 ultra finish or black.

 

Would REALLY like to see a set of those 18" alum. wheels. ANYONE?

 

i drive an F250 supercab SEVEN LUG daily finding rims is a real pain unless i want them custom cut

 

I realize this is an old thread but I've noticed there are some 7-bolt wheels available now and I wanted to know if there are any compatibility issues. I have a 97 F250 Light duty 4wd Extended cab, and my truck doesn't come up in any of the wheel application guides on sites I have checked. But there are 17x8 and 17x7 7-bolt (7x150mm) wheels online (ebay has some) and I believe I have 16x7 7x150 on my truck.
I'm not looking for a fancy wheel upgrade, I need to replace mine because rust has been killing them (leaks, polished cover fell off, rust is so bad I'm starting to doubt the integrity of the wheels themselves). I may even check some local junk yards but these wheels seem to be more common with newer F150s and I want to make sure they are compatible with my older f250
