Can I assume that all Ford 16" 8-lug steel wheels are the same?

Don't think so. 99 and later are 8 on 170mm.. I think the earlier
years are a different spacing.

I've got a set of '02 factory polished aluminums off an F350 4x4 with
Firestone Load Range "E" tires I'd love to get out of the garage.
Pulled 'em off at 15k for custom wheels/tires. make me an offer I
can't refuse.

Not only that, but some earlier 8 lug wheels were 16.5" instead of 16."
That's a big irritation if you happen to have a 16.5 because the selection
of tires is much smaller than for 16's.

Um, right now I'm at my desk, facing the window (West) with my feet up
and the keyboard in my lap. In a few moments, I'm going to be ending
this post, getting and walking to the kitchen to make myself something
to eat. :)
