2013 Ford F-350 Wheel Interchange

2013 Ford F-350 Wheel Fitment Guide

Known OEM Fitment For 2013 Ford F-350

The confirmed wheel-fitment information available for the 2013 Ford F-350 is shown below. Some specifications vary by configuration, trim, wheel package, or market, so values not provided here should be confirmed from the vehicle, the owner’s manual, a Ford parts source, or the wheel label before ordering.

A wheel must match the 8x170 bolt pattern and provide correct hub, stud, nut, brake-clearance, load, and offset compatibility. The 124.9 mm center-bore value identifies the supplied hub interface, but it does not by itself confirm that a wheel will clear the brakes or suspension.

How To Use The Wheel Interchange Calculator

Use the calculator to compare a donor vehicle or wheel setup with your 2013 Ford F-350. Select the donor information under “Wheels from” and select the 2013 Ford F-350 under “Installed on.” Treat the result as a dimensional comparison, not as a substitute for checking load rating, brake clearance, tire capacity, or manufacturer approval.

• Enter or select the donor wheel diameter, width, and offset when those values are known.
• Review the difference in wheel position, inner clearance, outer clearance, and overall tire dimensions shown by the calculator.
• Use “Custom wheel size” when the wheel is not listed. Enter its measured or manufacturer-published rim diameter, width, and offset.
• Use “Custom tire size” for the tire section width and aspect ratio. Do not substitute a tire size unless its load index and speed rating are suitable for the truck.
• Changing the custom rim diameter updates the calculated tire diameter in the comparison. Recheck speedometer, clearance, and vehicle-system implications after changing diameter.
• If the calculator lacks a required OEM value, verify it from the door-jamb tire label, the owner’s manual, the original wheel markings, a Ford parts source, or a qualified tire and wheel professional.

Fitment Checklist Before You Buy

• Confirm the wheel uses an 8x170 bolt pattern.
• Confirm the wheel’s center bore is compatible with the 124.9 mm hub. A smaller bore will not fit over the hub. A larger bore may require correctly sized hub-centric rings if approved for the application.
• Confirm the wheel is designed for M14 x 2.00 wheel studs and uses compatible lug nuts. Wheel-seat shape and nut type must match the wheel.
• Verify the wheel load rating meets or exceeds the axle and vehicle requirements. Do not select a light-duty wheel solely because its bolt pattern matches.
• Check inner clearance to the brake caliper, rotor, steering components, suspension, and hub hardware.
• Check outer clearance to the fender, liners, and body through the full steering and suspension range.
• Confirm the wheel width, offset, and backspacing from the wheel manufacturer. These values are not supplied here and should not be guessed.
• Confirm the replacement tire’s load index, size, rim-width range, and inflation requirements using the vehicle label and tire manufacturer information.
• Check whether the vehicle uses tire-pressure monitoring sensors and whether the replacement wheels can accept compatible sensors.
• After installation, verify that the tire does not contact any component during steering, braking, compression, or articulation.

Plus Sizing And Common Upgrades

Plus sizing means fitting a larger wheel diameter with a lower-aspect-ratio tire while maintaining a suitable overall tire diameter. The correct upgrade cannot be specified from the supplied data because the original rim diameter, rim width, and tire size are unknown for this vehicle.

Use the calculator to model a proposed wheel and tire combination, then confirm the actual tire manufacturer’s dimensions. A larger wheel may reduce tire sidewall, affect ride quality, increase the risk of wheel or tire damage, and change clearance. A wider tire can also increase contact with suspension parts, liners, or bodywork.

For a heavy-duty pickup, load capacity is especially important. The replacement tire and wheel must support the required axle loads, and the selected tire must be approved for the wheel width. Do not lower the recommended cold inflation pressure to solve a clearance problem, and do not use spacers or adapters unless they are specifically engineered and approved for the application.

Installation Tips

• Inspect the hub, studs, wheel mounting face, and lug nuts. Remove rust, dirt, paint buildup, and debris from mating surfaces without removing metal.
• Test-fit each wheel before mounting the tire if possible. Rotate the hub and check caliper and suspension clearance.
• Install the correct lug nuts for the wheel’s seat design. Do not assume the original lug nuts fit an aftermarket wheel.
• Start every lug nut by hand to avoid cross-threading the M14 x 2.00 studs.
• Tighten the lug nuts in a star or crisscross pattern using the vehicle or wheel manufacturer’s specified torque. The correct torque value is not provided here, so obtain it from an OEM or wheel manufacturer source.
• Lower the vehicle carefully, complete the final torque check with a calibrated torque wrench, and record the installation date and wheel details.
• Recheck lug-nut torque after the first short drive and again according to the wheel manufacturer’s instructions.
• After fitting new tires, set cold inflation pressure from the vehicle label, complete tire-pressure monitoring service if required, and obtain a professional alignment if steering or suspension geometry has changed.

Tools And Helpful Supplies

Useful equipment includes a calibrated torque wrench, the correct wheel socket, a jack and jack stands rated for the truck, wheel chocks, a tire-pressure gauge, a tread-depth gauge, and a means of measuring wheel width and offset. Never work under a vehicle supported only by a jack.

FAQs

Does the 2013 Ford F-350 use an 8x170 bolt pattern?
Yes. The supplied OEM fitment data lists an 8x170 bolt pattern.

What is the center bore for the 2013 Ford F-350?
The supplied center-bore specification is 124.9 mm. Confirm the actual hub and wheel dimensions before installation, particularly when considering aftermarket wheels.

What lug thread size is listed for this truck?
The supplied thread size is M14 x 2.00. The lug-nut seat and thread engagement must still be compatible with the selected wheel and studs.

What wheel diameter and width fit the 2013 Ford F-350?
The supplied data does not identify a single rim diameter or width. These values may vary by configuration or wheel package. Check the original wheel markings, vehicle information, OEM documentation, and the calculator’s custom wheel fields.

What offset or backspacing should I use?
No offset or backspacing value was provided, so it should not be guessed. Enter the wheel manufacturer’s published offset into the calculator and verify physical clearance at the brakes, suspension, steering components, and fenders.

Can any 8x170 wheel fit this truck?
No. Bolt-pattern matching is only one part of fitment. The wheel must also have compatible center-bore dimensions, load rating, lug-nut seat, brake clearance, width, offset, and backspacing.

Can I use a larger wheel diameter?
A larger diameter may be possible, but the correct size cannot be confirmed without the original and proposed wheel and tire specifications. Use the calculator to compare dimensions, then verify tire load capacity, rim-width compatibility, clearance, and manufacturer guidance.

How do I confirm the correct tire size?
Read the tire size and recommended cold inflation pressure on the driver-door information label, consult the owner’s manual, and compare the proposed tire’s load index and dimensions with the tire manufacturer’s specifications. The original tire section width, aspect ratio, and rim diameter are unknown in the supplied data.
