The Ford Barn

Trying to figure out what rims will work on my truck I have a 67 ford f-250. What I want is to put 7.50 -16 tires on this truck. So I need a narrow rim also no split rims. If I understand correctly late 40s up to 66 8 lug rim will work I have drum brakes will keep it that way for now . Also not sure if the 17.5 or 19.5 rims would work would not mind having them if they would clear wheel wells I ha e some nos tires 17.5 and 19.5 thanks for any input.

NOS tires?

Not sure how you're planning on using the truck but most tire shops will decline to mount or service tires over 8 years old. Their liability lawyers make those rules due to the higher rate of failures of older tires.

I found this quote is a "for sale" add, with the wheels on a 67. Don't know if it helps, but some research should give the available widths.

"In place of the factory steel wheels are 16-inch, eight-lug, eight-hole alloy wheels similar to those offered on the 10th generation F-series trucks from 1997 through 2004"

Anything in .5 increments is a 1-piece wheel, like 16.5, 17.5, 19.5. The 16.5 is probably the easiest to find. The older 15" and 16" are multi piece wheels, either 2 or 3 piece and these require tubes. But they may be wider, the 17.5" and 19.5" are likely narrower.
