Who's running Dodge 8x6.5 wheels on their Ford?

Like the title says, are you running Dodge wheels on your Ford van?
Pics?

I tried a set of late model 17" Dodge wheels on my 89 E-150 and the hub pilot hole was too small on the Dodge wheels. Could've been cut to fit the hub but the return lip's strength and wheel cracking was a concern.

Currently have 2004 E-150 16" steel wheels in place of my original 15" steel wheels. Being able to run tires with a shorter, stiffer sidewall was the whole point and my load range E Cooper HT3 tires have been a major improvement over the XL rated 15s.

Not the exact question asked but Dodge-Ford-Wheel info just the same.

I have run Dodge, Ford, and even GM wheels interchangeably in the 8 on 6.5 pattern on older DRW pickups, but never tried vans.

le bummer.
I'm looking to move to a 17" wheel when I buy tires next. Dodge 17" steel wheels seem abundant.
Mayhaps I'll have a look at some wheels and hubs next junkyard trip.
