I will soon be in the market for a new set of tires. I have a '97 F150 4x4 off road. It has stock 17" rims, beleive they are 7.5" wide.

My question is I've been thinking of upgrading to aftermarket rims and tires. I was courious if you guys (and gals, I know your here too ) know of any places I can find a affordable wheel / tire combo sale. I want to get them as a set. I don't want to break the bank though.

Any suggestions would be greatly apperciated!

 

Hoss,

I just ordered a wheel/tire combo from Discount Tire (www.tires.com) for my Expy. Locally, it was going cost me $700 just for tires for my stock 16" wheels, but I was able to get a set of 17" aftermarket wheels with tires mounted/balanced and shipped for $1030 total ( I wanted 18", but they were out of stock of the style I wanted ). Plus, I'll sell my old wheels on Ebay and recoup some of my money.

 

Thanks for the reply. I'll check out the site you recommedned.

Post some pics of the wheel / tire package you got!

 

Sorry for the delayed response.

Here's the new tire/wheel combo (17x8 MB's w/ 275/60-17 Falken's):





Mild mods so far...EB grille, Navigator chrome window mouldings, Gibson exhaust, Bilsteins, K&N filter, and diamond headlights/foglights enroute on the BigBrownTruck.
