About a year and a half ago, I found a completely rust free 1991 f250 2wd. Then I found a very rusty 1993 f350 4x4. Next thing you know, I have a 1991 f350 4x4 with f250 badges. :o So here's my question--I want to put bigger tires under this thing, but the 6 1/2 wide wheels won't allow it. Does anybody know of a factory steel wheel (don't care about brand) about 8 1/2 wide that will allow me to use the factory wheel covers on my 1991? Just trying to save time wandering around the junkyards. Thanks in advance. Later, Travis

I do not know of any factory steels that wide. When I ran 285/75R16 on my 94 F-250 4X4 I waved the typical redneck method of cutting the corners off of the front factory bumper. Instead I made spacers and ran longer bolts to set the bumper forward. (1 inch?, it has been several years)

Mid to Late 70s Camper Special Ford trucks had wider stuff, I have heard as wide as 9.25". But they're all 16.5 stuff. I opened up the centers on some 16" Chevy wheels for my '86 F250, I believe those were 8" wide.

Hey chris, this thing sits pretty tall, so I shouldn't need to cut anything. Hey threepedal,what timeframes for the bowtie wheels? I could just buy new aluminum wheels, but I kinda dig the factory wheel covers. Thanks fellas. Later, Travis
