Which wheels and tires are you running? (F250)

Post by theletup »

I know there are a million options out there for the 8x6.5 lug pattern but I'm having trouble finding something I really like. Can't seem to find a good online wheel viewer (like the ones at Schwab's). Maybe if I could see some pics of wheels actually mounted on the truck?? I currently have a set of era correct turbine style wheels and think they would be awesome to keep on my truck but they are 16.5's and I'm having a hell of time finding tires for them.

Was thinking of running something wide on the rear (12.5s) and maybe something smaller in the front?? I don't know.

What do you guys have mounted? Let's see some pics.

Here are my current wheels and tires.

This is a pick of "crusty blue" as my wife calls it.
the truck has 20" x 10 wheels, 275/40/20 and 315/35/20

i have black powdercoated UPS truck 19.5s and if i did a lot of hauling and highway driving i would keep them, i can take a picture of them if you like.
but the truck is mostly used in the woods skidding logs and such and doing farm chores so i dont really have use for them as i cannot get anything that fits those chores other than treadwright gaurd dogs which i looked into, but their phone techs could not tell me what the cores that were retreaded were or really any info at all, every time i called i got a brain dead sales person that could not refer me to anyone else.
lots of highway tires and M and S drive tires available for them the 19.5s, i would just rather have an aggressive bias ply like a power king premium traction.
im looking for pre 98 ford 8 lug steelies to put 750-16s on.

I don't have a picture but I am a huge fan of the camper special look. 16.5x9.75 rims in the back and 16.5x6.5 in the front. You could match the look and have an easier selection of tires by running 16x10 and 16x7 stock style wheels from wheel vintiques and run like a 305/70/16 on the back and a 245/75/16 or something similar on the front. The 305's are basically a metric 33x12x16 tire.

a fellow on another page was wondering what 750-16s looked like so here they are. i think they look correct on the truck.
these are power king super traction, and i like them for the most part so far. i have a vibe that feels like one of the wheels is an oval lol, hops at speed. but it had it before i changed wheels. it comes and goes, cannot find it, but anyway.
