I have 275/60's on 17'aluminum OE wheels that I'm not fond of. I think the new Lightning wheels are excellent. I think a set of those would look great on my white, reg.cab, short wide bed, 98'STX. Plus, I don't have to go through the hassle of getting the right off-set. I know they'll fit. Any of you Lightning owners that are planning a switch, let me know.

 

This is just a test to see if I can get my pic up on these [imf]http://www.fortunecity.com/silverstone/sunroof/916/gt99.gif[/imf]

Ok one more time

 

I just got the 17 inch chrome 4X4 wheels off of a 2000 150 and put a 275 / 60 / 17 tire on them! Now I need to drop it.......Arghhh

 

You ought to see the "Deluxe Aluminum Wheels" on this F250 Super Duty I am about to buy. I will not be trading these! I will take a picture tommorrow and post it.

 

Not a great picture but hey.

 

Here is a better one!

cphilip, those wheels look great!! Are those from the factory? And what size are they? They look just what I've been looking for. Are they available in different sizes for other trucks? Any help is greatly appreciated. Jim

Thanks and yes, they are the "Deluxe Aluminum Wheel", with General "Grabber" M+S LT235/85R-16's, that come stock on the F250 Super Duty XLT trim level. Nice wheels huh? Well I know a place you can buy them (cheap) but only for the 8 lug hubs of the SD (or the F150 7700?). I have seen other trucks with aftermarket wheels that looked like these but I do not know where they got em or what brand they are. You could check with Roger here at the F150online store and he could find em for you I bet.

 

My neighbor has an F-250 Super duty with those wheels. He just bought a Carson cargo trailer for his construction business and by luck the trailer wheels look the same as the truck wheels. He could not have planned it that way. Look good.
