The Ford F-250 is an iconic workhorse known for its power and versatility. However, beneath its rugged exterior lies a crucial specification that often goes unnoticed but plays a significant role in the world of customization: the Ford F-250 lug pattern. Let’s delve into the intricate details of this bolt pattern now!
In this article:
What Is The Ford F-250 Wheel Bolt Pattern?
For most recent Ford F-250 models, the standard bolt pattern is 8x170mm or 8×6.69 inches. This signifies that there are eight lug holes evenly spaced around the wheel hub, and the diameter of an imaginary circle passing through these lug holes measures 170 millimeters or 6.69 inches.
The 8×170 bolt pattern offers not only a strong and stable connection but also the capability to accommodate heavier and larger wheels, a crucial feature for a truck designed for towing, hauling, and demanding off-road adventures. This exact bolt pattern is essential for ensuring a secure and accurate fit, preventing issues such as wobbling or bad alignment of the wheel.
