It's a 2003. Why Ford Super Duty F Series? Wouldn't I want to look up E-Series?
My guess is the bolt pattern on the wheels is changed from standard E Series to F Series to accommodate the front axle, which are almost always out of an F Series.[/quote:22e5fdyd]

No, his van is not the F-Series metric lug pattern - it is the good old fashioned E-Series 8 on 6.5" pattern.

Re: Trying to figure out new wheels/tires

Ok, thanks for all the input. I'm going with the 16". Now, everything I've found online for wheels, including the Mickey Thompson's that I've decided on, show a 4.93" (125.2mm using an online conversion calc) center bore size. Everything I've seen about stock E350 says it's a 124.9mm. When I measure my existing wheels, they are about 131mm. Can anyone lend some clarification? I don't want to get a rim that wont fit the hub.
