Wheels for 1983–1987 Ford 6.9L IDI Diesel Trucks

The Ford 6.9L IDI diesel was built for durability and workhorse performance — and the right set of wheels helps it look and perform even better. Whether you’re restoring your truck, upgrading for towing, or simply updating its style, choosing the right wheels improves handling, load capacity, and overall appearance.

From the factory, 6.9L IDI trucks came with modest steel wheels designed for utility. While functional, modern wheel designs offer improved strength, better materials, and more size and finish options. Upgrading allows you to fit larger tires, enhance clearance, and achieve the stance or performance look you’re after.

When selecting new wheels, it’s important to match the bolt pattern, offset, and backspacing to ensure proper fitment with your suspension, fenders, and brakes. Upgraded wheels made from cast or forged aluminum are significantly lighter than steel, reducing unsprung weight and improving ride quality, braking, and fuel efficiency.

For trucks used for towing or hauling, load rating is crucial. Heavy-duty wheels designed for high-capacity applications maintain strength under load while improving stability. Many modern designs feature corrosion-resistant finishes such as powder coat or clear-coated alloys, ensuring long-lasting durability and easy maintenance.

Customizing your wheels is also one of the most impactful ways to personalize your 6.9L IDI. From polished aluminum and black matte finishes to beadlock-style and off-road-inspired designs, Diesel Power Products carries options that blend performance and aesthetics for any build style.
