Hey everyone, im currently looking for some nice Offroad rims. i really dont want to spend over 120 a rim. Im pretty new to all of this, and wondering what size to get, lug patterns, Etc.. Any help would be great. thanks

 

Our body style is 5x135 lug pattern. Depending on if you want to get new tires, rim size is up to you

 

Great! thanks for that info. I'm planning on getting 33in A/T's. im guessing 16in rims would be fine?

 

The rims im looking at are Eagle Alloys, 15x8. 5x135. it says the offset is 30mm. is that correct as to what i need?

 

Umm iirc, minimum rim size is actually 16". I forgot to mention that earlier but there are clearance issues with the brake calipers. You might be able to find a few people who have done it but you are better off going with a 16x8 rim. Not sure on backspacing tho but I think 4.5" of bs is generally the way to go.

 

15" rims will ususally require caliper grinding if you have disk brakes on the '97-'03 F-150's

 

I meant to write 16x8 lol. thanks for all the input guys, its helped alot! Really a great group of people here

 

How about tires? I want 33 or 35's A/Ts that are good on the highway, and good offroad

 

I'd suggest a 16x8 inch wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing. If you are at stock height, I'd suggest a 265/75-16 (32x10.50) tire. If you add a set of Daystar coilspring spacers, you could fit 285/75-16 (33x11.50) or 305/70-16 (33x12.50) tires.
Good tire choices would be the BFG AT KO, Nitto Terra Grappler, Toyo AT, **** Cepek FC II, Pro Comp Xtreme AT, or Mickey Thompson ATZ.

 

I have BFG AT KOs and they are really nice so far. Dont have any rating on wear since its only been like 700 miles but good tires, not too loud, still hold their own offroad

 

so i have 265/75/16 so 16x8 would be right?

 

i love my BFG's and had a set of 285's first and they ran for about 1 yr almost and didnt loose much tread before i sold them

though im really not a fan of the 16x8's but 16x10's are hard to find now days.

my wheels sell for 140 in 16x10 though new

 

yeah i'm on a high school budget so i'll have to settle with some 16x8's at like $75ea

 

Im going to Sears friday. They have an awesome deal on Kuhmo 35's right now.. Mounted, balanced, and installed for 740.00!

 

you cant fit 35"s yet
