I have a wheel question for the wheel experts.

I have a 1997 F250 light duty. The lug pattern is 7 lugs. I know that there is not alot of options for aftermarket wheels. Do any wheel companies make 7 lug pattern wheels?

What about changing the hub to a 8 lug pattern? Any info will help. Thanks

 

Eagle Alloy makes a wheel for your truck. I'm not positive, but I think American Racing makes one also.

 

I have 4 16x8 Prime 105 wheels 3 are chrome and 1 is polished. let me know if you are interested. I had them on a 97 f-250 light duty 4x4. Also the only place I have been able to find 7 lug wheels is Boyd Coddington but they are expensive. I tried the places that the other guy said and they told me they dont make them anymore.

 

Would these wheels fit?

You didnt link to any particular set of wheels...

But they had quite a selection for 7x150 bolt pattern wheels...if that is what the F250 LD uses.

 

I'm pretty sure your 7-lug F-250 wheels are identical to those now being supplied as original equipment on the '06 F-150 with the Heavy Duty Power Package option. My '06 has this 7 by 150mm pattern, and I've only found two manufacturers that make aftermarket wheels for it: American Racing and Eagle.

American Racing's Atlas #660-7850 is a 17" diameter, 8" wide, 0 offset chromed alloy wheel with a 7x150 bolt pattern and 4.5" backside spacing. It's on the AR website, pictured with a five lug pattern. I just bought four on Ebay for $670 including chrome stems and lugnuts. (Price included shipping). Wheels just arrived, boxed, brand new, perfect condition. Contact Kevinduanepiper@aol.com for more info if you are interested. He's been great.

AR makes this wheel in polished aluminum too, which is cheaper, but less durable than chrome. Eagle also makes a wheel for this bolt pattern, aluminum too. Ford should, but doesn't, offer an alloy wheel for this bolt pattern.

Good luck. Let us know what you come up with.

PS: I just checked the Centerline site above, and they seem to have a 17x8 wheel with the 7 lug pattern too. Thanks, Rideordie. Now you've got three to choose from. But, call the manufacturer first before buying....
