Does a F250 and F350 have the same lug pattern?
Yes. For modern Ford Super Duty trucks, the F-250 and F-350 typically share the same lug pattern (8 on 170 mm) across SRW and DRW configurations.
In practice, this means you can often use the same wheels or wheel adapters between F-250 and F-350 without changing the lug pattern. However, there are year-to-year variations and some specialty models that may differ, so it’s important to confirm the exact specification for your vehicle using the VIN, owner's manual, or a Ford dealer’s data for your exact year and configuration.
Understanding lug pattern basics
Lug pattern, or bolt pattern, refers to how many bolts a wheel uses and the circle they form around the hub. It determines whether wheels fit your vehicle and how they align with the hub assembly. For Ford Super Duty trucks, the most common specification for modern F-250 and F-350 models is an 8-bolt pattern on a 170 mm bolt circle. The center bore and other fitment details also affect compatibility, so both bolt pattern and hub dimensions matter when selecting wheels.
Are F-250 and F-350 lug patterns the same?
The short answer is that they are typically the same for recent generations. Both SRW (single rear wheel) and DRW (dually) F-250 and F-350 models commonly use the 8x170 mm lug pattern, with a similar center bore. This alignment is part of Ford’s shared Super Duty platform design. Still, there have been variations by year, trim, or special equipment packages, so you should verify for your exact vehicle before purchasing wheels or adapters.
Before you commit to wheels, it’s important to check the precise specifications for your truck’s year and configuration. The information below helps you confirm compatibility.
Common lug pattern characteristics you should know for these trucks:
- Pattern: 8 lug bolts (8x170 mm, also described as 8 on 170 mm or 8x6.69 inches).
- Center bore: Typically around 106.25 mm (4.18 inches) for most Ford Super Duty models; rings or hub-centric spacers may be required for some wheels.
- Variations: While most F-250 and F-350 vehicles share this pattern, rare year-by-year differences or specialty configurations can occur.
- Compatibility note: Always verify against your specific vehicle data (VIN, build sheet, or dealer spec) before buying wheels or lug adapters.
In practice, this means you can often swap wheels between F-250 and F-350 without changing lug patterns, but confirm each vehicle’s details to avoid fitment issues.
How to verify compatibility for your vehicle
To ensure your wheels will fit, follow these steps at the time of purchase or if you’re planning a wheel upgrade:
- Locate your exact vehicle information (VIN) and pull the factory wheel specification from Ford’s official documentation or a dealers’ service portal.
- Check the bolt pattern specification listed for your truck's year and configuration (SRW vs DRW).
- Measure the wheel hub bore if you’re buying aftermarket wheels to ensure they’re hub-centric or include appropriate rings.
- Confirm with the wheel manufacturer or a trusted tire shop that the wheels, spacers, or adapters you plan to use are compatible with the F-Series Super Duty lug pattern.
If in doubt, consult a Ford dealer or a reputable wheel retailer with your VIN to confirm the exact lug pattern and center bore for your specific build.
Summary
For most modern Ford F-250 and F-350 Super Duty trucks, the lug pattern is the same: 8 lug bolts on a 170 mm bolt circle, applicable to both SRW and DRW configurations. Always verify for your exact year and configuration, as there can be exceptions. When in doubt, check the VIN or consult a Ford dealer to ensure wheel compatibility and proper fitment.
