16" wheels

Need two, anyone know who makes some? 16x8 atleast. Cheaper the better.

I've seen one that will fit, but it was some high dollar ghetto fabulous wheel.

16 inch wheels will not fit over the brake rotors of the 04-06 F-150's. I've seen hundreds of wheels for the new F-150's, but I've never seen a 16 inch wheel with the 6x135mm bolt pattern. I'm not doubing you saw the wheel you described, but there must have been a misprint somewhere or someone just gave you some misinformation. In fact, Ford changed the brake calipers during the 05 model year and now there are fitmit problems with some aftermarket 17 inch wheels on some 05's and the 06 F-150's.

No, I saw one that will fit, it was specially machined for 04-05 f150's to fit over brakes.

Just if somone can find me some 16" 6x135mm wheels ill make them fit the rear.

You can fit 15" wheels on dana 60's if you want. Just depends on how much you want to grind the caliper

I wish I could find a set of cheap 16" wheels.. I'd buy them. Slicks for 16" are much cheaper.

I am looking for 17" drag race tires for CHEAP.. I wouldn't get enough use out of them to justify buy brand new ones. I'm a cheap skate.

I keep combing Ebay for tires.... I always find some and get out bid or try to wait to sniper bid on them and forget

I'll get some soon.... then I'll be posting like FX4 Matt did.. Broke at track..lol j/k

Theres a company that you can pay a small fee to and they'll "snipe" items on eBay for you. I forgot the name but a quick google search would find it. Just some food for thought.

If you find a 16" wheel that fits let me know, I'd love a custom set of 16.5" wheels so I can run boggers next.

Why run boggers when you could run hummer beadlocks?

Sooo much cooler.
