1973 Ford F-250 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1973 Ford F-250 uses an 8x165.1 bolt pattern with a 124.9mm hub-centric center bore. The stock wheel measures 16.5x6. You can fit larger diameters up to 17 inches, with widths ranging from 5.5 to 9 inches depending on the diameter you choose, giving you plenty of customization options without staggered front and rear setups.
Only wheels with an 8x165.1 bolt pattern will fit your truck—no exceptions on this older Ford. Since many aftermarket wheels have larger center bores than your hub, use hub-centric rings to ensure proper centering and balanced rotation. Aggressive offsets or very wide wheels risk contacting your fenders or suspension components, so verify fitment before ordering, especially with sizes pushing toward nine inches wide.
Every wheel we offer for your F-250 bolts right on and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. Carolina Forged, Vision, WELD Off-Road, American Truxx, Black Rhino, Fuel 1PC, American Racing, and Tuff all have options ready to ship.
