Wheels and Tires
Hello All....
I am thinking of getting a set of chrome wheels and new tires for my 54. The tires on the truck now are 205/75R15 on black painted steel wheels. The suspension is standard leaf springs and all the fenders are stock size. No modifications have been made to the truck. I want the wheels and tires to be somewhat larger to fill up the wheel wells but I don't know how big is too big. I am thinking of something in the 18" range but I don't know how wide to go with and what offset to use. I want to be able to use a rather stock tire that doesn't cost a fortune and also a reasonably priced chrome wheel. Where is a good place to look for wheel and tire deals?
Thanks for any ideas.

I am a CL *****, and inherently cheap, so I will leave it to others to recommend a tire store.
If you haven't tried before, here is a tire/wheel visualizer that lets you pick from various styles and sizes and see what they look like on your truck ( 54 F100 is one of the options).

The last time I went in, I was in a tight spot. I wanted just two tires, but the truck needed 4. The manager wouldn't let me leave with 2 dry rotted tires, even though I had originally intended to buy a full set 2 weeks later, when I had the cash, but a flat at work and a tow bill ended that plan early. He insisted I take the full set, and come back when I could pay for the other two, no extra charge.
Needless to say, I've been a loyal customer ever since. And from what I have heard from family in other states, this is pretty much a company that takes care of their customers everywhere they are.
