2009 Ford F-350 Wheel Interchange

2009 Ford F-350 Wheel Fitment Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2009 Ford F-350

The confirmed wheel fitment information for the 2009 Ford F-350 is listed below. Some original-equipment dimensions are unknown or may vary by configuration, cab style, drivetrain, package, or wheel option. Do not use an unknown value as a replacement specification without confirming it from the vehicle, the original wheel, or Ford service information.

A wheel must match the 8x170 bolt pattern and provide suitable center-bore, stud, nut, brake, suspension, and load-capacity clearance. A matching bolt pattern alone does not prove that a wheel is safe or compatible.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

Use the on-page calculator to compare a donor vehicle's wheels with the wheels installed on your 2009 Ford F-350. Enter the donor vehicle in the “Wheels from” field and select the 2009 Ford F-350 in the “Installed on” field. Review the differences in bolt pattern, center bore, rim dimensions, offset, and tire measurements.

If the donor vehicle or wheel has a dimension that is not listed, use the calculator's custom wheel size fields for rim diameter, rim width, and offset. Use the custom tire size fields for section width and aspect ratio. Changing rim diameter updates the calculated tire diameter in the comparison, so check the resulting diameter and clearance rather than comparing wheel diameter alone.

The calculator is a screening tool, not a substitute for physical inspection. Confirm the final wheel markings, tire size, load index, speed rating, brake clearance, and stud or lug-nut engagement before purchase or installation.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Confirm the wheel is drilled for 8x170 and is intended for the correct M14 x 2.00 wheel-stud and lug-nut arrangement.
• Confirm the wheel's center bore is suitable for the 124.9 mm vehicle hub. A smaller bore will not fit over the hub. A larger bore may require correctly sized hub-centric rings when appropriate, but rings do not correct an incompatible bolt pattern or unsafe wheel design.
• Verify the wheel diameter, width, and offset from the wheel markings or manufacturer documentation. These values are not confirmed in the supplied OEM data.
• Check the wheel's load rating against the truck's required axle loads and intended use. Do not rely only on appearance or wheel diameter.
• Check inner clearance to the brake caliper, rotor, suspension, steering components, and hub assembly.
• Check outer clearance to the fender, liner, mud flap, and body through the full steering and suspension range.
• Confirm that the tire size is approved for the wheel width and provides adequate load capacity.
• Inspect used wheels for cracks, bends, corrosion around the bead seat, damaged stud holes, and previous repairs.
• Confirm whether the wheel requires conical-seat, spherical-seat, or another specific lug-nut seat. Lug-nut thread size alone does not identify the correct seat.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

Plus sizing generally means fitting a larger wheel diameter with a lower-profile tire while attempting to keep the overall tire diameter close to the original. Because the original rim diameter, rim width, and tire dimensions for this page are unknown, a specific plus-size recommendation cannot be confirmed here.

Use the custom wheel and tire fields in the calculator to compare proposed dimensions. Watch for changes in overall tire diameter, section width, sidewall height, speedometer accuracy, suspension clearance, fender clearance, and ride quality. A larger wheel does not automatically provide adequate load capacity or brake clearance.

For a work truck, towing, hauling, or off-road use, prioritize the required tire load index and wheel load rating over appearance. Any change that increases tire diameter or changes the effective rolling radius can also affect gearing, braking feel, traction-system operation, and clearance. Confirm the final setup with Ford documentation, the wheel manufacturer, and the tire manufacturer.

Installation Tips

• Clean the hub face and wheel mounting surface before installation. Remove rust, scale, paint buildup, and debris without damaging the mating surfaces.
• Install the wheel dry unless the wheel or vehicle manufacturer specifies otherwise. Do not apply lubricant to lug-nut threads or seats unless specifically directed.
• Use only the lug nuts and seat type specified for the selected wheel. Do not assume the original lug nuts fit an aftermarket wheel.
• Start every lug nut by hand to prevent cross-threading, then tighten in a star pattern.
• Use the vehicle or wheel manufacturer's torque specification with a calibrated torque wrench. The correct torque value is not provided here and must be confirmed from an OEM or wheel-specific source.
• After installation, rotate the wheel by hand and inspect for interference. Turn the steering from lock to lock and check clearance where practical.
• Lower the vehicle fully before the final torque check, following the manufacturer's procedure.
• Recheck lug-nut torque after the break-in distance specified by the vehicle or wheel manufacturer and inspect for movement or contact marks.
• Set tire pressure according to the vehicle placard and tire manufacturer's requirements, not simply the maximum pressure printed on the tire.

Tools And Helpful Supplies

Useful equipment includes a calibrated torque wrench, the correct socket for the lug nuts, a tire pressure gauge, a tread-depth gauge, a wheel-cleaning brush, and safe lifting equipment. Always use jack stands rated for the vehicle and place them at approved support points.

FAQs

What is the bolt pattern for a 2009 Ford F-350?
The supplied OEM fitment is 8x170. This represents eight wheel studs arranged on a 170 mm pitch circle diameter.

What is the center bore for the 2009 Ford F-350?
The supplied center-bore specification is 124.9 mm. The wheel's center bore must provide adequate hub clearance and should be confirmed before installation.

What lug-nut thread size does this truck use?
The supplied thread specification is M14 x 2.00. You must still match the lug-nut seat shape and wheel-specific lug-nut requirements.

What is the factory wheel size?
The rim diameter and rim width are unknown in the supplied data. Check the original wheel markings, tire sidewall, door-jamb information, owner's documentation, or Ford service information. Do not infer the size from the model name alone.

Can any 8x170 wheel fit this truck?
No. The wheel must also have suitable center-bore clearance, offset, width, brake clearance, load rating, lug-nut compatibility, and tire compatibility. Check the calculator and confirm the final dimensions with the wheel manufacturer.

Can I use a wheel with a larger center bore?
A larger center bore may be usable with correctly sized hub-centric rings when approved for the application, but rings do not fix the wrong bolt pattern, incorrect offset, inadequate load rating, or insufficient brake clearance. A smaller center bore generally will not pass over the 124.9 mm hub.

What tire size should I use for a replacement wheel?
The tire section width, aspect ratio, and rim diameter are not confirmed in the supplied data. Read the complete current tire size and verify the replacement tire's approved rim-width range, load index, speed rating, overall diameter, and vehicle clearance.

Does the calculator guarantee fitment?
No. The calculator helps compare donor and installed wheel dimensions and allows custom wheel and tire inputs. Final fitment still requires checking physical clearances, wheel and tire ratings, lug-nut fit, and OEM or manufacturer documentation.
