Steel Wheel for spare tire

[Texas Yankee]

I purchased a spare tire to carry with my Greyhawk 31FS. I need to find a 16" wheel to fit the 225/75R16 tire. Nothing fantasy. Do rims have a model #? Any advice welcome!

The Discount Tire web site (discounttire.com) has a number of helpful articles about selecting wheels. It is not really simple. Here are some of them:

https://www.discounttire.com/learn/measuring-rim-width

https://www.discounttire.com/learn/offset-backspace

And rated for the required weight and air pressure.

Of course, the easy thing to do would be to go to a tire dealer and ask them to order you an appropriate steel wheel. You'd probably want to drive your Greyhawk there, so that they can measure.

Do A search for spare wheel and tire on this forum for Class C
Lots of threads on this subject, There several differences on
Ford e450 wheels depending on year of truck.
There is a stamped # on the steel rim that is the best way to I.D.

Been struggling to figure this out as well recently. It's not an easy thing to simply look up. FWIW, this is what I've found on one website, and I think the critical things to note appear to be for the E450 with 16" wheels as follows. I'm going to where I store it to check and confirm if its the four hole wheel.



16 x 6 inch

8 lugs
bolt pattern: 6.5 inch

For 2008-2017 E-450, the one I got from eBay does fit and has the part number on the rim of 8C24-1015

Discount tire gave the following specs for the wheel I need, and will give me a quote tomorrow. 16 x 6 Bolt pattern 8-165.1, +99 offset.

Hope this helps. It worked for me.

Pull one of your front wheel covers. Look on the rim for a stamped Ford part number. It should be 8C24 1015 G_. That is the OEM part number for the wheel you need.

Go onto ebay. Enter that part number along with "ford wheel" in the search box. You will find at least one seller who will send you a used wheel with the correct part number for the price of less than $75 with free shipping.

I cleaned my ebay wheel and shot a little spray bomb paint on it, then ordered a correct matching Hankook tire from Wal-Mart.com. Wal-Mart mounted ans balanced it for me.

Total cost was less than $200 and the best part, it was easy.

MikeUSNRet, attached is a picture of the stamping on the wheel. I did not see any stamping on the wheels in the format you indicated.

Having trouble downloading picture. Will attempt again!

Once you get a steel wheel for your spare you may find you also need a set of
lug nuts to match the spare.
The ones used on aluminum wheels are a different base style than
OEM ford. I believe the Ford ones have Swivel Seats.
