Question Would like to C 14" Hostage wheels on 97-2003

Hello all ...just found out about the site and would like to see pictures of some 97-03 F150's with Fuel 14" wide Hostage's mounted on them.
I was running 38.5 Pro Comp AT's on 10" Boyd Cottington wheels and last weekend I was searching Craigslist and found a set of black & machined hostage's mounted on 36 x 15.50 mickey MTZ's.

The truck they were on was water damaged on the beach and the wheels & tires only had 500 miles on them. So I went and looked at them and bought them for 1500.00 and there wasn't a scratch on them.
He had just spent a little over 3500.00 getting them and mounting them.

Even though I went down a few inches it still wasn't much of a differance in the height but the width is awesome! I never did like the straight up look of any truck like I was running but due to the bolt pattern of these years of F150's its hard to come by wider wheels till now.

If you have the years mentioned and the wheels, please post some pics of them here.

Here is mine on the Boyds and 38.5's:

The truck looks awesome,what kind of lift are you running? I want to run a 35 inch tire on a 12 wide wheel. Would a 6 inch fabtech lift work on a 2003 Screw or would a body lift be needed, and what about the 5 inch RCD lift? I loved my 6 inch RCD on my 95 chevy was smoothest riding lifted truck I had ever drove.

Thanks,
I'm running a trail master 6" and 3" body lift and 2" keys. If you want it to function without cutting anything you'll need the body lift with the 12" wide wheels. Even with the 5" and 3" body you would still be able to run the setup your looking for.
Here is a friend of mine that has an 03 Screw on 36" with a 6+3 combo and he had to do no cutting to the lower valance or fenders.
