Question Wheel Size?

So im thinking of putting 33" tires on my stock 01 Screw but im not sure what size wheel to go with. Any suggestions?

Also, whats the widest I can go on a 33" without rubbing?

I'd go with a 10 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing. As for a tire, I'd stick with a 12.50 (305mm) inch wide tire but you could fit a 13.00 inch (325mm) wide tire. You will have to trim some plastic off the front bumper's lower valance.

Also, with wheel diameter, I'd go with 16's or 18's.

Any particular reason?

Just personal preference. I think the sidewall on a 33 inch off road tire looks too short on 20 inch and larger wheels. I don't really care for 17's because there seems to be less tire selection than with 16's and 18's.

Ahh. Im thinking that when i get a lift a bigger wheel will look better so i think im going to try for the 18's. i am having a hard time finding wheels though. apparently when ford changed to the 6 lug pattern a lot of companies stopped making the 5 lug for the f150...or so ive been told.
