All of our '57-'60 f350s should have 17.5" non-split rims and should be a 6X7.25 lug pattern. I don't know of any other wheel that uses that pattern. If you wanted a different size rim I think you would have to have them custom made.

I have 6 of the 17.5" wheels and tires for our F350s. The wheels have surface rust, the tires are like new. PM me if you want them cheap. I have posted a lot here about my conversion front and rear to 8 lug modern ford dually wheels. I think you should be able to find info if you do a search. It involves a later model rear axle and 8 lug dually adapters for the front and some machine work. Cheaper and easier to just buy my wheels..... Edit...... Now I see you are in Robin Hood country. Shipping will be a problem...........

I have a 1960 f-350, it looks like the center of the wheel with the lug nut stud holes is riveted to the rim, the rim where the bead of the tire seats appears to be one piece. My rims are original to the truck, and are stamped 60 for the year. Are these split rims or “solid”? And will tire shops service these?

What size are they? If 17” they are two piece widow makers. Called the Firestone RH-5°. If they are 16” they are locking side ring style having the Firestone RHP rims. If 17.5” they are one piece tubeless. Below are cross section diagrams. Stu

Thank you very much for posting this, my rims are the 17.5 so this is great news for me. I am pretty strict on keeping things original, so even though the tires will cost me, at least I can keep the rims.Thanks.
