This fall my buddy went to go get my truck and boat trailer after a day of fishing and hit a curb or something and ripped the sidewall out on my front tire. I got a new tire but now it vibrates. Sears and NTB both said he bent my rim. I was thinking about buying a cheap set of black steel wheels. What to I need to look for? My stocks are 17x7.5 What bolt pattern? I have read about brake clearance. I got 1 brand new tire and the other 3 are only about 6 months old, so I hate to buy something that requires new tires, I just want some basic cheap wheels since I only use the truck for boat pulling and yard work.

Would it be cheaper to buy just 1 stock rim?

Thanks.

 

OEM wheels are pricey...unless you find someone's "take-offs" from when they upgraded. Look on eBay for complete sets. Some 17" & 18" sets of 4 can be had for $400 or so.

No smaller than 17" in diameter so that you clear the brake calipers. Bolt pattern is 6 on 135mm. Wheels from any 2004-2012 F150, and 2003-2012 Expedition will fit.

Happy hunting.
