I believe the lug pattern is wrong. 8 x 6.5 vs 8 x 170.

Yep different lug pattern. Those lug patterns are correct.

Rims from an E-Series van will work....
As already stated
?? - 97 - F-250, F-350 = 8 x 6.5"
99 - Present F-250, F-350 = 8 x 170mm
?? - Present E-250, E- 350 = 8x6.5"
The F-450 + does not count.... they have 10 lugs, up to 11 it think, then the 450 has 8 lugs, but a different pattern yet.... and the 550 are 10 lug also.....
Alot of guys next door on oilburners.net have asked the same question....... and this is the issue.....

That would be wayyy too easy if they bolted right up. Makes me mad they dont work. I have 3 older 3/4 tons and my 99 3/4 ton and none of the wheels will fit my truck. Ford just makes it difficult!

This was the push to go totally metric on these trucks and that is why no other trucks wheels fit.

I would have to say the E series vans up to 91 or 92 would fit your 97 F250. Thats when they changed body styles on the vans from the 80's style Ford truck look. I have an 84 E250. I guess they call them brick noses? Or is that the body change for the trucks starting in 88 and up? 80 to 87 F-series and E-series pretty much looke the same. Square headlights and all. I would imagine when they went to metric pattern on our superduties, they also upgraded the van bolt pattern also in 99 since they are the same axles I believe?
Stroked,
The body style change was in 92. The van body was 73 -91 and the 92 up. The changes through the years was a face lift (grill changes etc, similar to the trucks) 73-78 had round headlights, 79 changed to square, in the mid 80's they moved the spelled out F O R D across the hood to the blue oval in the middle of the grill (same change on the 83 F-Series) were basically the same up to the 91 body change. 92 was the entirely new body, and has stayed basically the same.... grill changes, headlight changes....
However, the wheels have stayed the same, in the late 90'2 or early 2000, they changed the rear axle to a disk brake system, some guys have used these hard to find axles to do a disk conversion on the older trucks. The vans are the 'read-headed stepchild" of Ford vehicles.......

Thanks for the info! I've always loved the ford vans. I'd like to put the 92 and up style body on my 84 van.
