They are the same rim as used on every cab and chassis F-450/F-550 made from 1998 to present!
Fred.
Not totally true.
There are two 8 lug (8 on 225mm bolt circle - unique to Ford) 19.5" steel wheels that were used on F53's back then. 19.5" x 6.00" and 19.5" x 6.75". The 6.00" wide ones are the same as the F450 and F550. The 6.75" wide ones are unique to F53's. The 6.00" ones were on the 16K and 18K GVWR chassis back in 1999 with 225/70 tires. 6.75" were on all the others with 245/70 tires.
(Other manufacturers, and even Ford on the F650/750, use an 8 on 275mm bolt pattern. Those won't work of course.)
