Mahindra wheels on a Ford?

[jd4044m]

I'm looking for some 34" wheels for the 7610 Ford and I've found some off of a Mahindra, it says the lugs are 8" apart with a 6" center hole. I had someone measure the 7610 and the 8" lugs are the same but the center hole only measures around 5 1/2 ". Will they work ?

The centering hole should carry the load. Don't let painted surfaces interfere with precise measurement.

Have your machine shop guy lathe-turn some 5.5" ID 6" OD rings accordingly to make up the diff.

Your lugs should then only see rotational loads as intended.

btw, If your 7610 is 4WD you'd want to match tire OD to what you take off.

Ok yeah I hadn't thought of that. And no it's 2wd

The lugs nuts on the Ford are acorn style (tapered) so they should take the weight off of the center hub anyways right? Or no?

Yes with the original wheels and only if the Mahindra wheels are stud piloted as well.
