At Jim Burke Ford, we get wheel-and-tire fitment questions every week, and the Ford F-350 bolt pattern is one of the biggest “make sure before you buy” details. The reason is simple: across F-350 history there are a few major bolt-pattern eras, and on modern trucks the answer can also change depending on whether you have a single rear wheel (SRW) or dual rear wheel (DRW) setup. Below is a complete, model-year-by-model-year guide (grouped where the specs match) starting with the newest trucks first.

2026–2005 Ford F-350 bolt pattern (modern Super Duty era)

If you’re shopping wheels for a 2005 or newer F-350, first confirm SRW vs DRW:

• SRW F-350: 8×170 mm

• DRW F-350: 8×200 mm

Model years covered in this section: 2026, 2025, 2024, 2023, 2022, 2021, 2020, 2019, 2018, 2017, 2016, 2015, 2014, 2013, 2012, 2011, 2010, 2009, 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005.

Note on 2026: fitment retailers and wheel fitment databases currently list the 2026 F-350 in the same 8-lug Super Duty family, with SRW shown as 8×170. As always, we still recommend matching the configuration on your door sticker/VIN build (SRW vs DRW) before ordering.

2004–1999 Ford F-350 bolt pattern (early Super Duty era)

For 1999–2004 F-350 Super Duty trucks, the bolt pattern is 8×170 mm.

Model years covered in this section: 2004, 2003, 2002, 2001, 2000, 1999.

Why this matters: a lot of “it should fit” wheel listings blur the line between older 8×6.5 trucks and 8×170 Super Duty trucks. If your F-350 is 1999 or newer, you’re in the Super Duty fitment world, not the older 8×6.5 world.

1998–1967 Ford F-350 bolt pattern (classic 8-lug pickup era)

For 1967–1998 F-350 pickups, the common bolt pattern is 8×6.5 inches, which is the same as 8×165.1 mm (two ways of writing the same bolt circle).

Model years covered in this section: 1998, 1997, 1996, 1995, 1994, 1993, 1992, 1991, 1990, 1989, 1988, 1987, 1986, 1985, 1984, 1983, 1982, 1981, 1980, 1979, 1978, 1977, 1976, 1975, 1974, 1973, 1972, 1971, 1970, 1969, 1968, 1967.

Practical tip from our service lane: if you have an OBS-era truck (especially 1980s–1990s), most aftermarket listings will say either 8×6.5 or 8×165.1. You can treat those as the same fitment when shopping, as long as the rest of the wheel specs (center bore, offset, load rating) match your truck’s needs.

How to confirm your F-350 bolt pattern the right way

If you want to verify at home before ordering wheels:

• Count the lugs first (most modern F-350 setups are 8-lug; some early trucks may be 6-lug).

• For 8-lug patterns, measure from the center of one stud to the center of the stud directly across from it. That measurement will land near 170 mm (8×170) on many Super Duty SRW trucks, near 200 mm (8×200) on many Super Duty DRW wheels, or about 6.5 inches (8×6.5 / 8×165.1) on many older pickups.

• If you’re not sure whether your truck is SRW or DRW, look at the rear axle: DRW trucks have two tires per side in the rear.

And if you’d rather not guess, our parts team can help you verify fitment by configuration so you’re ordering wheels that actually belong on your exact F-350.

Conclusion

The F-350 bolt pattern story is pretty clean once you break it into eras: 2005–2026 trucks split by SRW (8×170) vs DRW (commonly listed as 8×200), 1999–2004 Super Duty trucks use 8×170, and many 1967–1998 pickups use 8×6.5 (8×165.1). The earliest 1953–1966 F-350s can vary more, so the smartest move is always to confirm what’s on the truck today before you buy. If you want a second set of eyes on your setup, Jim Burke Ford is here to help you match the right wheels the first time.
