Yeah I have an 06 and previous to owning this one I'd never heard of it, basically it is a F-150 HD or a light duty F-250. Upgraded (from standard F-150) suspension, rear end ,7 lug wheels, trans cooler etc.

new to the forum, but not to Ford trucks, figured this was as good as any threads to throw this question out. I have a 2013 F-150 crew cab with the 8200GVWR package. It currently has 245/75-17's, of course Load E, but was wondering about opinions from others jumping up to 265/70-17's sticking with the Load E of course, not sure the TPS would like otherwise. Having had 275/60-17's on my '02 F-150 2WD, which was around 1000+ lighter, it sure feels like these 245's are under-sized for the truck. Any opinions about what tire worked good for you guys?

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

Every one is like this, the covers fell off and this is under.

GLC, There was still the LD F250 in the '99 model year. Then in '00 the 7700 package came out. I find it interesting that, according to the data tags I've seen, the F150 7700 trucks have a higher rated payload than the LD F250's. The F250's would have a GVWR of, say, 6700 to 7200 lbs. I also noticed that the '97-'99 F250 could come with any V8, but then the 7700's seemed to require the 5.4 only (gas or NG/propane).

So are the wheels from the '04 and up 7700's the same as the '97-'03 7-lug wheels? I guess I never realized that the 7-lug option continued after the '97-'03 generation (including the '04 Heritage). I know the base F150 wheels went from 5-lug in '97-'03 to 6-lug from '04 up. I hate that because a lot of cool-looking 6-lug wheels came out that would have looked good on the '97-'03 trucks (if you can't tell, the '97-'03 generation is still my favorite). Anybody ever found a way to put a 6-lug wheel on a 5-lug truck? Just curious.

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.
