My Ford and trailer axles have the same bolt patterns. BUT, they have different stud diameters and wheel offsets. You might want to check yours before making a purchase.

I put one of the wheels on last weekend just to see and they fit perfect. I could not beat the price so I could not pass them up. FREE, I sold a 1997 Ford F-250 4x4 to a older farmer and he told me "I dont need them there fancy wheels" so I had a set of factory steel wheels I give him and he brought me the Alcoa wheels back.
That is the reason I was wanting to know about the weight rating on them. I think we have talked ourself into ordering the ss covers that ya'll told me about.

Here is the e-mail from Alcoa...
Hello Paul,
The copy description, including 3,750 at 110 psi is a "blanket statement" for all trailer wheels. However, the load rating quoted in the copy statement is for the 16" Classic wheel. The wheel you are interested (part#167031) is our LTS 5-spoke wheel, which was tested at 95 psi and has a load rating of 3415. If maximum load rating is your ultimate goal, I would suggest (part#167041) our Classic-8 16"x7" wheel with 3,750 at 110 psi.
Below are the specs for both wheels:

Bolt Circle Inches

Hub Bore Dia. Inches
Backspace Inches
Offset-SRW or Half Dual Space-DRW Inches

Each wheel offers a different appearance (5-spoke or 8-hole) and load rating (3414@95 or 3750@110) to meet your specific needs. I hope this helps.
