Anyone have a 7 lug F150?

[Forty1Racing]

I'm getting started on a bed cage build soon and I can't put off getting spares any longer.. I need new wheels but i have the F150 7700 with the seven lug so kinda hard to come across. Can Anyone think of somewhere to look or have some?? ( Please dont say tirerack and yes i did post a wanted add! )

FST Motorsports in PHX did one of these trucks and kept it 7-lug.
There was feature of the truck in OFF-ROAD Magazine.

Are the spindles the same as a 5-lug? If so I would just go to the junkyard and get the 5-lug hubs and rear axles, even though the 5 lug trucks are still an odd pattern, the likelyhood of finding a spare wheel when you really need one is pretty good with how many of those F1s get built. Still have no idea why Ford didn't just use an 8 on 6.5 pattern.

Sidebar, that FST truck has some pretty nice pieces, and some super-hack stuff, how does that mix come out of the same shop?

Yeah a simple eight lug would have been nice, my f150 is like an... f200 due to all the weird heavy duty stuff it has haha.

I used American Racing when I had mine.They made an aluminum set.Thers not much out there,I looked for a year

[ErikShallbetter]

Yeah, I used to have one of those. American made/possibly makes ONE wheel for them. I ended up making a fake SS beadlock ring, a new centercap, then powdercoated the wheel gloss black. I had the ring and cap polished then used Black bolts in the ring. It looked pretty good for what it was.

I would look into converting to 5 lug.

Here is a "in construction" pic.

Is it a Timken 1 piece hub/bearing assembly in the front? If so, you can probably find a very simple replacement with a different bolt pattern. Then you can just use an adapter in the rear and run a more common bolt pattern. Just go to the Timken website and download the catalog for their bearing assemblies, and find one with the same specs as yours but with the bolt pattern you want.

i looked around and found the 150 5 lug and 250 7 lug use the same bearings br11 inner and br12 outer,i cant find rotor dimensions to see what the bearing spacing is though.the rear axles have the same dimensions on the axle shafts and use the same bearings too.

I can see why nobody makes wheels, ford will probably go to a 7 1/2 lug next. With 18 and 5/8" tires!!!!

on dans old f250 we made wheel adaptors from 7lug to 5on5.5
