Got a rim question for u guys

ok so i have a 93 150 with a 300 and a 5spd, i know the rims r 5 on 5.5 and i was wondering if there is another rim size that will fit this truck? it currently has the 15's obviously and they dont make a load range d tire for the 15's anymore, or at least i cant find one anywhere. i really dont have the money to go out and get brand new rims so i was lookin for somethin like a 16 or 17 that fits this so i could go to junk yard and get some. my biggest thing is that i would love to keep it in the ford family and i know that is gonna be a big issue sense after that body style they went to metrics so if anyone has any advice it would be great to hear from ya. thanx again guys!!

it's most likely gonna be aftermarket or Dodge... My question is how much are you putting on that poor truck to need "D"s on a 1/2 ton 6cyl with baby brakes?

Cs start squatting with 1,000 in the bed... They're a car tire.
I run Es, but I'm running the F-250.

Really, mine dont... Never have. even with just over 3/4 ton of pea gravel in the back, I cant say much for the springs though. And that was cheap Kumho's. My Wranger Silent Armor's are even stiffer. Of course this is all @ 50psi cold as specified. The P series XL rated tires that came on these trucks are car tires BTW. Not the LT rated tires.

Factory Ford wagon wheels. They're 15x8. Plenty wide for you and usually can be found for around $100 for a set. I know you said you don't want to pay for new rims but $25 a corner is pretty cheap and I think all you're going to get.
