1978 Ford F-350 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1978 Ford F-350 uses an 8x165.1 bolt pattern. The truck comes stock with a 16x6 wheel at 12mm offset. You can step up to 16.5-inch or 17-inch widths while staying compatible—options range from 16.5x6 all the way to 17x9, giving you flexibility for both street and aggressive truck looks without needing different front and rear sizes.
The 8x165.1 bolt pattern is exclusive to this application, so confirm that specification before ordering. Your hub measures 123.9mm, so use hub-centric rings if you choose a wheel with a larger center bore to ensure proper fitment and balance. While these wheels offer wide sizing options, extremely aggressive offsets or the widest widths risk contact with fenders or suspension components, so consider your truck's stance carefully.
Every wheel we list bolts straight onto your F-350 and ships free throughout the lower 48 states. We stock quality brands like Carolina Forged, Vision, WELD Off-Road, American Truxx, and others that fit your truck perfectly.
