if you think they will go good on your truck go for them. and if you care about looks or not go with a 285/75/16, thats basically a 33" diameter tire fills wheel wells alot nicer. any other questions just ask

I'm not feeling those rims. What color is your truck? I've always loved the American Racing rims on the older f150's.

Those look ok. I agree, go with at least a 33 inch tire. Heck, most 4x4's came stock with 32's.

My truck is Black with silver gold two tone. Paint coad AQ for thoes who know what that means. I do love the American Racing rims but the only color I can find them in is chrome. And I like these because of the black and chrome two tone Which I think they will look good on my truck. Accept bein a hetrosexual male I have no sence of style so I ask upon you guys who are in the know. I am acually looking for a wider rim so I can stuff some wider rubber under my truck. I plan on making alot of power out of this truck and the 265/70/R17 bfg AT are just barly cutting it for my truck now.

Thanks for in info guys. Any imput would be great.

I'd go with some 16x10 inch wheels and some 305/70-16 (33x12.50) tires. Look at the Pro Comp wheels, they make some nice black aluminum wheels.

Yes, they will fit. He will just have to trim a little plastic off the front bumper's lower valance. I have some pics in my gallary.

As of what I understand the tires the tires I have on there now are 32.2 inches tall. A arms have very little angle to them now so a little TB crank will not hurt them. How wide of a tire can I get away with running. I have the factory fender flairs so I have a little extra room. Plus the cops around here a cool so if they stick out a litte bit it is not that big of a deal.

Thanks.

A 305mm (12.50 inch) wide tire will be your best bet.

Ok, I got to looking around and I think that I found a rim that I like. Price is not to bad, not too much chrome and enough black. Total for tire and rim that I want including mount and balance is like $1300 which is not to bad. M/T recomends anywhere between 8 to 9.5 inch rim so I can get away with 8". Tires are 305/75/16D, any idea what kind of BS I need to run this set up. Thanks wandell and all the other that helped me.

4.5 inches of bs would be best. Also, I think you mean you want a 305/70-16 tire. I've never seen a 305/75-16.
