The documented 1980 options span three factory wheel dimensions, while 1981 uses 16.5x6 and 16.5x6.75 wheels. Each year still contains several configuration-specific fitments, so use the full drivetrain, cab, and GVWR description rather than selecting from the year-wide size list alone.

How Does GVWR Affect F-250 Ranger XLT Tire Fitment?
Different GVWR configurations can have different documented tire selections within the same model year. For 1980, 4x2 GVWR 6350 lists five 16.5-inch sizes, while 4x2 GVWR 7650 adds 7.50-16LT/E but uses a different group of 16.5-inch options. In 1981, 4x4 GVWR 6700 lists three tire sizes, whereas 4x4 GVWR 8700 lists only 9.50-16.5LT/E. Match the GVWR together with the year, drivetrain and cab configuration.
