Dan, No it wont work. You can find late model 16s that you can use on your truck or purchase 16" custom wheels.

I have a set of wheels and tires from a 1998 Ford Expedition, I was hoping to use the tires (16")on my truck. Is it possible to make those wheels work safely? The 1998 wheels are 5 lug, is there an adapter or modification possible to make them work?

dont say it is not possible, I once got talked in to changing a tire at are shop and the air powered changer wouldnt even peal it of, we had to cut it off with a skill saw. turned out that it was a small 14in. snow tire on 15x8 rim. something you would expect from a chevy guy!

Ok....I believe I have got the message...It is not safe and probably not possible. I appreciate the information. I had not really paid that much attention to the tire size and a friend trying to help gave me a set of good used 16" tires and 5 lug wheels. BBB that information you gave was great. Thanks to all.
Is there a stock ford truck 16" wheel that has the same 8 lug pattern as the 1970 f250, that I could find at a salvage yard and if so what model years?

Inner dia. of tire - rim size only fits tires of the same rim size, want to use a different size the you need different rims.
Anyone looking for this 9.5 x 16.5 size?
I just purchased 5 tires for my 77 Camper Special, these are getting harder to find only one I found was Firestone’s that match this size.
Did find this site if you want to match the dia. to a different rim dia.

actually my daughters ‘77 F250 4X4 Ranger has some aluminum rims that may be original ford rims 8 lug
check your usual spots, tire dealers, salvage yards, crags list etc.
