Looking for info/advice for 97 F-350 wheels
I just bought this:
First thing I want to do to it is unlift it I know it looks cool like this but I need to use it for work and pulling my camper, plus my wife won't ride in it like this!
I want to eliminate most or all of the lift and go down to 33" BFG All Terrains. I want stock or similar aluminum wheels, what I am seeing on the internet is the stock wheels are 16" x 7" with a 8 lug 8" x 6.5". Any advice or info on what brand, where to get some wheels?

Stock aluminum wheels are Alcoa 16x7(forged aluminum) with 235/85/16 tires. They are Basically are 31.5" x 9.5"
They look a little small on these trucks(F350s)
You can upsize a little to a 285/75/16(32.5 x 11.50) and they fill the wheel wells much better with out looking stuffed or hitting. They say 285s are supposed to go on 8" wheels but they work just fine on 7".
Before you go lowering the truck back to stock you may want to consider a RSK(reverse shackle kit) it will lift the front of the truck about 2.5" over stock and improve the ride dramatically.
Here is a link to my truck with the RSK
