8 lug 19.5" Wheels?

Can anyone tell me if there is a 8 lug 19.5" wheel made for my 04 F-350 Dually?

I don't think they make 19.5's in an 8-lug I know they do in a 10 lug

yeah they make 8 lug 19.5's, you can find them on ebay, or at american force wheels I think... I always considered them on my last truck, a 350. but I don't like how there is more flat space around the center covers because of the smaller lug diameter...but now I have an 08 f-450 and got them from the factory with 10 lugs

Thank you!

American Force Wheels, thank you, just found them on Google. I hear you about the extra space but I think the overall improvement will offset that. I wish there was a cheap way to put the 450 hubs and axles on a 350 but way to expensive. I am upgrading the brakes on the 350 so the 8 lug 19.5s are next. I know it wont be a true 450 but with the upgrade list I have it should do better than the way it is now. First the brakes and wheels. Then 430 gears and airbags. That should do nicely for towing heavy. I hope?

Two reasons. One - I really don't feel secure with adapters. I know they are strong but just feel better with the wheels bolted right to the hubs. Two - Looks! I really do not like the way the adapters make the wheel and tire hang out in the rear. I really like the clean look of the stock 450 wheel that fits in the well nice and tight.

Those adapters are pretty heavy duty I've had mine on for about 10k miles or so(since August) with no problems including towing from NC to OH to PA back to NC.
If they do extend from the wheel wells any it is very minimal as can be seen in my sig pic

On a side note: Do some research on the AF 19.5's before you get them..I've heard in the past that some people had problems with them cracking. I don't recall exactly which is why I say to check into them a little further.

The F450's and F550's from 99-04 were 8 lug 19.5's. The F450' and F550's model year 05 and up are 10 lugs.
02 F450 8 lug

Why not just go to 20" wheels? I think you will find more tire options.
