lookin for a good set of aluminum wheels similar to stock wheels on a 95 f150 xlt. been lookin at "american racing wheels" any good?

 

American Racing makes pretty good rims.

 

I'd look for American made rims cause you'll have better quality American racing rims are made in China

 

im really having a nightmare here with wheels and tires and bolt patterns and backspacing and all this crap. basically im wantin a 2.5 lift and 32 tires. but the wheels i got are a tad small, i cant find any information on this either thats worth anything. you guys know much about it? and what should i do.

 

Do you want the best or the cheapest.

The Best are forged wheels. Alcoa, Centerline, weld are all forged

Almost anything else is cast and not as strong

 

I have a 90 F-250 Diesel and a 92 F-250 with a 460 gas engine. On Both truck I run American Eagle, as below. Excellent load rating, price, and look. The tires on both these truck are 285-75-16 and work excellent without any need for lift kits or spacers. (On the 92 I had to trim a small corner at the bottom of the front bumper os the tire didn't chance rubbing.

The American Racing Oulaw II's are pretty close and look sweet. I will try to take a picture of mine tomorrow.

 

you can run a stock rim. i have the aluminum style but got little rivet type things on the outside and they have the ford center caps and i have 31-10.5s on them. they rub a little but not to bad

 

Sounds like you need to learn what all this crap actually is, or leave it alone.

 

You can run your stock wheels. I did for a long time running 32x11.50 and didnt have any rubbing

 

That`s why bassman94 is asking........
