Anyone ever heard of 16" rims for F150?

I posted this in the 80-86 section as well, because I found an add on the internet while looking for tires just for fun, and came across an add saying 235/85R16 tires on 5 bolt 1980 F150 rims...



And low and behold, they are!





Anyone see this before? know where can they be had? I'd love to run 215/85R16 on my F150!

The E150 ford vans used the same bolt pattern as the F150 trucks for a longer time, so all you need to do is get some oem van rims in 16".

I have never seen an E150 with 16" rims on it but that's not to say they don't exist, another possibility is that these are Dodge or Jeep rims which also have the same bolt pattern.
