E350 16.50 Dual Rims, Where to find? |
|
|
Hello-
I have a 1983 E350 Econoline 1-ton box truck and I'm trying to find a
set of 16.50" rims to replace a less-than-perfect set that I now have
on the rear. They are pretty chewed up and are probably beyond
repair.
I've tried a number of local salvage and junkyards, including those
that have decent inventories of heavier-duty vehicles (i.e. non
passenger car), but have been unsuccessful.
Does anybody have any idea(s) for where I might be able to track down
a set of 16.50's dual-rims for this vehicle? Are they rare or scarce
for some reason?
Might I be able to substitute a different rim?
Thanks in advance!
Kevin

I guess I don`t know why you would want to. the 16.5 is all but obsulite
now. I can hardy find any good tires for it. just get 16s with correct
size tires and you will be fine. KB

They are available in the $50.00 - $60.00 range:

Check in category "Ford Van (excl Aerostar & Windstar)" and your wheels
will pop right up under E350.

Well, consider that I have 8 fairly new 16.50s, I'd rather not have to
buy 8 new 16" rims and 8 new 16" tires when I can just buy 2 used
16.50" rims.
Finding tires has never been a problem for me... |
