I see eight lug vintage slots from time to time. The bolt pattern is the same for Ford Chevy and Dodge eight lug bolt patterns. Keep your eyes open on Craigslist and eBay.

keep an eye for them listed as 8x165.10 as well...165.10mm is the same as 8x6.5"

These are billet rims, not stamped cast or forged.

These are not ... these are stamped

I have a pair of 8 lug 16.5 x 9.75. Scrappers stole two. Sell the set for $50 in Reno. Def need a polish.

Mr Toni its the 16.5 rims they are tryin to get away from cause they dont make a lot of tires for them any more.

Copy that. Thought he wanted slots. Not gonna find 16s and 15s won’t clear rotors. I run 31 16.5 on vectors and 33 16.5 on jackmans. You can still find them. Even Walmart has cheapie 16.5 8.75

You can buy new 17x8 and 17x9 slotted mag wheels for about $250 per wheel that are not drilled for any bolt pattern. Order four wheels and find a machine shop or a wheel shop to drill the correct 8 lug bolt pattern with the right bore for the lug nuts of your choice. This would be an expensive proposition, but it might be the only reliable route. All the old slotted mags will likely be 16.5.

Thanks all! I really appreciate the help and advice.

REED- THAT IS PERFECT!!! THANK YOU!!! That is great it know!! super stoked! thank you!

Mr Toni- Cheers i appreciate that! Yeah defiantly looking for the slots.But like Frscke1 Said trying to get away from the 16.5. sadly hard to get the tires for them. So the 16's and 15's Wont clear my rotors on a 91 E250???

Before you order, I recommend you contact the wheel company and verify that there is enough space on the flat in the center of the wheel to drill the 8 lug bolt pattern. There might not be enough real estate there.

for sure!! i will defiantly give them a ring and suss out the situation! i really appreciate all the help and advise! smile love this forum!
