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'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
Dave I'm currently having the exact same problems with my 98 F-250. Take a look.

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

Old thread but I do recall these. I shopped one back in the day and found it interesting. The one I saw was badged a 250. Which I felt was a mistake to do. And I don't recall that lasting very long using that badge.

The F250 light duty was in 97 and 98, in 99 it became the F150 7700. The reason they did this is because the 97 Super Duty was still the old body style, there was no Super Duty in 98, and the new Super Duty came out in 99.

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).

An additional note, in '99 you could get either an LD F250 or the new SuperDuty F250. In '97, you could also get the last gen F250 or the new style LD F250. 98 was the only year (97-99) that only 1 model F250 was available. Then from '00 on, the SuperDuty was the only choice for F250.

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.

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.
pacer makes a hole shot wheel for the 7 lug fords and they are not super expensive, i paid $370 after tax for all 4 ..
