What wheels are these?

Hey everyone,

I'm having trouble figuring out what wheels came on my 87 f250 4x4.
I can't tell if they're stock or aftermarket from my research. Tires are 33x12.5x16.5. I know the 16.5 are phasing out so i'd appreciate any info. Thank you!

Aftermarket chrome 16.5 "nuggets"

The front wheels are what came stock. 16x6.5

Thank you! If I were to replace these with 16s what width would you recommend? I'm not sure what width they are currently but i'd like to keep the 33/12.5 or close to it such as 285/75.

285s are recommended to go in a 7.5 -9" width rim.

Just keep the 4.5" back spacing and you will be fine
