If my memory serves me correctly, I believe it was a P235/75/R15

Now somebody correct me if I am wrong..

By wheel do you mean tire or rim. I believe the rim is 15X7.5 or 15X8, one of those two, i can't remember the offset.

I was asking about the rims. I'm upgrading to 33s but I'm trying to figure out what width to get.

If you're upgrading to 33x12.50", you're definitely going to want to go with an 8" wide rim at the least. Anything smaller than 8" will be too small. What happens is that your tires bulge at the top and you get uneven tread wear, with the middle of the tread wearing sooner than the edges. I have 15x10" rims and I love them. Stock F-150 rims are too small to handle anything over 32" tires IMO.

I have 15x7.5 wheels with 31x10.50 tires and the centers are wearing alot faster than the rest of hte tread. I blame it more on the crap goodyears than anything. Ive had 2 of them replaced under warranty cause they kept getting big bulges on the sides.

I think for 12.50 tires you need a 15x10 rim. Thats what i have with my 35x12.5 swampers and thats the rim size the tire company recommends.

That could be over inflation....

I don't know if I can afford new wheels too

How much do you think I could get for a set of stock rims with 235/75/R15 street tires with good tread on them? I was going to use the rims from those, but maybe I could sell em.

I would say $200 if you're lucky. I sold a set of 15x8 rims that were the same style as mine for like $50. They didn't have tires on them though. But I thought I gave the guy a pretty good deal. You just can't get much for stock, used equipment unless you find the right buyer, but who knows how long that will take?
