2005 Wheel Bolt Pattern?

[anthonySD]

Anyone know if the bolt pattern will still be 8x170 on the 05's. Would hate to have to give up a set of 16x10 Weld's. Also, would 16's fit on the 05's. From what I can tell it looks like the smallest rim available will be 17's. I'm hopping the bigger brakes will still allow for a 16" wheel. Any insight into this would be helpful. Thanks

New, larger wheel sizes on F-250 and F-350 17 inches as the standard wheel, with 18 inches on some models and a segment-first 20 inches on the Ford Harley-Davidson F-Series Super Duty allowed engineers to upsize brake rotors by 5 percent, to 347 mm in front and 340 mm in rear. This provides greater braking surface and helps to dissipate heat, especially on long downhill roads.

Other improvements include larger calipers for both the F-250 and F-350. The front calipers have twin 60 mm pistons up 11 percent from 2004 for better braking feel. Rear calipers have twin 48 mm calipers on F-250 and twin 54 mm pistons on F-350 dual-rear-wheel models. The F-450 and F-550 also benefit from 30-percent stiffer calipers and larger brake rotors. New brake pad material provides quieter stops while more than doubling the lining life.

Well, How big are the calipers???

I think it will be close, not sure though! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]

Would 2005 wheels fit a 2000 unit?

Sorry if this should be listed in another area.

Anyone heard about the wheel pattern and if 16's would fit yet?

Thanks

I don't think 16s will fit on an 05 because the brakes are too big.
