wheel options?

Its a 95 F150. Im building it to be a sleeper so I dont really want big flashy aftermarket wheels but the tires I want only come in 16"+. I did a little searching but couldn't find anything definitive.

Are there any good looking Ford OEM 16"/17" alloys with a 5x139.7 bolt pattern? Or am I just gonna to go aftermarket?

I look of the forged Alcoas on the 250 and 350s, and there is a similar factory style for the 150s I think looks great.

I think the American Racing Baja rims look great on these trucks...they are similar to the factory 15" Alcoas, but they come in 16x8 and 17x8.

I was going to go 16's also but bought a full set of crager soft 8's still in the boxes off of craigs list for $150. It was too good to pass up. I'd check Craigs list and see what pops.

I sure agree with you on that. The 95-96 F150 aluminum wheels look great I think.

I like the factory wheels fine but I need to upgrade because the tires I want don't come in 15" sizes.

There is always the option of second gen Lightning wheels. Look it up. The bolt holes can be enlarged to work on our trucks.

Did you try TireRack.com? Put in all the vehicle info and the size you're looking for, and it will show you all the different styles.

I've looked at tirerack yes. Thats where i buy tires. I just wanted to know if there were any Ford OE 16"/17" wheels that would work before I buy a set of aftermarket wheels.

The wheels from newer F150s have positive offset while our trucks use neutral or negative offset to clear the trailing arms, so when fitting larger tires and rims you need to maintain that same backspacing or the tires will rub. Rims from newer trucks may bolt on but they will look a bit goofy tucked way in under the fenders and the tires may rub unless wheel spacers are added.
