1979 Ford F-350 Wheel Fitment Guide — What Works & What to Avoid
Your 1979 Ford F-350 uses an 8x165.1 bolt pattern with a 123.9mm hub-centric center bore. The stock setup runs 16x6 wheels at a 12mm offset. You can upgrade to larger sizes including 16.5-inch wheels in various widths, step up to 17-inch options, or stay with 16-inch diameter for a more traditional look. All compatible sizes are available without stagger considerations.
Keep in mind that only the 8x165.1 bolt pattern will fit this truck—no exceptions across Custom, Ranger, Ranger Lariat, and Ranger XLT trims. Since your F-350 requires hub-centric fitment at 123.9mm, use hub-centric rings if you choose a wheel with a larger center bore. Aggressive offset changes or extremely wide wheel selections may create rubbing concerns with fenders or suspension components, so verify fitment carefully when pushing beyond stock dimensions.
Every wheel we offer for your F-350 is verified to bolt on safely and ships free to the lower 48 states. Carolina Forged, Vision, WELD Off-Road, American Truxx, Black Rhino, Fuel 1PC, American Racing, and Tuff all have in-stock options ready to ship immediately.
