need help, new to trucks.

Hey guys this is my first post, and my first truck.

im picking up a 1997 f-150 xl 4.6l v8 RWD

i was wondering if any of you guys had knowledge of what the factory rim sets dimensions were. i cant seem to find any difinative sizes online and figured this would be my bet bet short of phoning the dealership. id like to get them as close to original specs.

also any suggestions on where to purchase both the rims and according size tires would be greatly appreciated!

thanks in advance, New F-150 owner!

Depending on he trim level they're either going to be like 16x7 or 17x7.5 both with around 4.5" of backspacing. Tire sized varied with all the trim levels, but it'll be on the door jamb sticker on the driver side. Should be around the metric equivalent of a 30x9 or something.

Also, the lug pattern is specific to 97-03 F150's and Expedition.
