Where have some of you found rims for our trucks? I'm looking for around a 16"dia rim that would look okay with a slight lowering (2"/4"). Any ideas are appreciated.

are you going for a sport look or just a litle of a drop. first a 2/4 drop would come from 2 in lowering springs and shackles and hangers or a flip kit. thi is not a very goo setup IMHO. i would go for a 3/5 kit from belltech. this will consist of 3 in lowering i beams for the front and shackles and hangers for the rear. i think this will give you a better ride quality even thuh it will cost more. as for rims with 16' you'll hardly notice the difference. i would consider some 17' or 18's. i can get you some pics of f-150s from mild to wild if you want..just e-mail me trx400ex120(No Email Addresses In Posts!)

Tyres international www.tyres1.com.
American Racing Bajas 16 x 8 4-7/16 backspace cost me about $70 out the door including center caps and tax. Summit Racing was about the same price.

Very heavy duty wheel with traditional styling. Pefect fit, no complaints.

I will go with the I-beam kit eventuall, but for someone just starting on the mod end with a tight budget the eibach kit seems like a better idea, plus it will level the thing out. As for the 16's, that can change, but really just looking for a +1 wheel and tire swap.
