Found a set of nice 16" wheels for my '68, I think.


They're not marked as to what they belong on, no GM, FoMoCo, or Dodge markings.

I did find the number 170 cast into the back between two of the holes, would that mean they're 8x170?

Measure or test fit them. If aftermarket, they will have the larger hole center for the older standard. I wouldn't count on the 170 casting meaning a whole lot. If they don't have any tires on them, look near the valve stem on the area that is normally covered by the tire. Quite often the manufacturer and size is stamped there.

If they are the old spread, and aftermarket, it doesn't matter Ford, GM or Dodge, they all interchange. Only matters if they are factory GM.

Hard to say factory or aftermarket. Also hard to say if metric or 6.5.

They're not factory Ford I know that much, but uncertain if they're aftermarket for the Super Duty. Regardless, if I get off work early enough Monday I'm going to head back over. The price is right if they'll fit, and worth the 60 mile drive...
