here is my situation i have a 97 f150 with 16x7 rims that look like this

http://www.wheelsandcaps.com/ebay/im...03192_side.jpg

i hate them. i want new rims but oem ones. the 16inch rims dont really have a big selection i like most of the 17 inch rims like the fx4 or the lariat. i would love to have those but i just bought brand new tires for my 16inch rims. i found some fx4 rims for a ranger same size 16x7. my questions are would the bolt patterns be the same and would the rims clear my brakes? please help and thanks

 

bolt pattern is not the same

 

wouldnt work

 

Even tho you would like to stay w/factory look wheels, you might consider aftermarket. Try www.tomzwheels.com or www.discounttire.com. I purchased my "Rocker" wheels from Discount Tire.

Just a suggestion.
