Maximum Rim Size

Hey Everyone

New to the forum and my first post.

I own a 75 Ford F100 2wd
Motor: 351W

A few weeks back we lowered the truck with a DJM kit (3" Front, 4" Rear)

I am looking at replacing the 15" factory white rims with some aftermarkets (leaning towards 18")

Problem is with the 5x5.5 bolt pattern, the local shops dont carry anything that i can test fit to see if 18" will fit or if I can go larger with rubbing the inside wheel wells.

I tried doing a search and even went through the 54 page post about lowered attitude dents. I have not been able to find much information on rim sizes with lowered trucks.

I appreciate any help you can offer or if you know of an existing post that will be similar.

I look forward to the information i am going to learn from this forum and other people that enjoy these trucks as much as myself.
