I am looking into getting a pair of front skinnys for my truck. I am wondering if anyone has found rims for skinnys that are bigger than 15inch? Do they even make 16-17 inch rims for skinnys?

Thanks

Zach

 

as far as I know skinnies for our trucks is a normal size 16x8 tire, you might not think so, but put them on and you'll see. so just find a 16x8 rim you like and get some normal sized pepboys tires for cheap way to do it.

I was thinking more along the lines of a 5 inch wide rim. The stock rims are 9.5 that is only 1.5 wider than the 8 that just doesnt make sense to me.

 

Regular f150 wheels 16x7

 

the front of our truck is to heavy for such a narrow rim. our stock rims are 9.5" wide yes but then we put a 295 tire on it and it makes it even wider. if you get a 16x8 rim and put say a 225-235 on it its going to be noticably narrower.

Yeah what they said, not even sure a 5" rim would fit over the brakes.

 

16x7 rims on my truck


To bad Weld stopped making the 16x7 rims

 

what is the real benefit to skinnies? just less weight?

 

Don't get just cheap tires. They had better be speed rated, but then again it's your life.

 

What John said ... Don't cheap out where the rubber hits the road.
