Besides the 1980 F150 SuperCab i recently bought, my wife drives a 1994 Aerostar XLT 3.0 auto.

Just put the 15" steel wheels on it with 205/65/15s and haven't found some decent hubcaps yet. Those hard to find 14"s had to go.

Great forums, learned stuff already! Thanks!

Welcome!

Great to see another user of one of the best utility vehicle ever made.

Good move on the +1 wheels; I plan to do it as well one of these years.

BTW here are some covers that look similar to factor alloys.

I found the recommended size tires (215/70r14) tires in stock at my local Wal-Mart. WalMart Tires for Aerostars I bought the Douglas Xtra Trac II tires for my Areostars. They were also the best price I could find and all 4 were made in the U.S.A. I don't like to buy any more than I have to from Walmart but being in stock, having the best price and being made in the USA closed the deal for me. I skipped the phony extra charge for road hazard insurance - it covered the cost to repair the tire 100% the first year, 50% the second year and 25% the third and final year of coverage. It wasn't worth the money to me.
