Buying wheels

Looking to buy a new set of wheels, 17x10's for a 03 F150 Screw 4x4 V8 4.6. Looking to get a nice set, chrome or silver. Any recommendations on sites out there that will have more than 3 choices. Also, anyone know the exact size my truck needs? Such as the distance between the lugs? Some sites are asking for that. Thanks.

lug pattern should be 5x135mm 4.5 in of backspacing works great or close look into 16in rim more options tires are cheaper too try 4 wheel parts, 4 wheel customs, and national wheel and tire bought mine off summit but made them beat the price

You need 4.5 inches of backspacing, not offset. I agree, you will have more choices in tires and wheels if you go with a 16x10 or 18x10. Look at the Pro Comp Xtreme Alloys (4Wheel Parts carries them). THey have several polished aluminum and chrome aluminum wheels for our trucks.

tomzwheels are great guys, their warehouse/shop is about 1hr from me, and he let us come pick up the rims we were buying. Also if you call tomz, make sure you mention you are a forum member and they is usually a better discount that way.
