I want to keep the factory look and need some 16 inch stock looking wheels that'll fit over the brakes. I did some homework and found this thread. Had no idea Ford 8 lug wheels would work. Before I bite the bullet, could someone take a look and let me know if these wheels will work? I also have the original caps.

Modern Ford 8 lug 16x7s from econoline vans - will these fit with no problems and will they take the caps?

And based on what I've read here, any GM 8 bolts after 88 won't work, right? Here are a couple:

Thanks in advance for all advice.

If you still want to run caps, the Ford rims you posted will not work. they don't have the nubs to hold the hubcaps on.
These will work, notice the 4 nubs.
