Sizing Help!

I've got a 02 Ford F150 Supercrew 4x4 XLT and want to get BFG All Terrain T/K A/O Tires. I was planning on a getting 16x10 7089 Pro Comp rims to go along with them but now I see I cant get the bolt pattern for the 10" anywhere, only 8". So what is the biggest size tire that will go on that rim without a lift kit? Or do you know where I can get 10"?

You can fit a305/70-17 (33x12.50) using either wheel, but IMO 16x10's look much better. You will have to trim a little plastic off your front bumper's lower valance to fit 16x10's but it's unnoticable if you are careful. I have some pics in my gallary. Check out Eagle Alloys website, they make several 16x10's.

You do mean 16 right? Not 17? will these tires fit on my stock wheels? Pretty sure I have 16s on my truck

Yep, it was just a typo. You can fit 305/70-16's on the OEM 16x7 wheels but they are a little too wide. This can cause the center portion of the tread to wear slightly faster than normal, similar to running too much air pressure.
