Any 15" or bigger wheel will fit on our F100's. I suggest doing a little research using our search engine top of our page. Numerous times FTErs here have mentioned which "back spacing" is required for a wheel to fit.

Long ago when I first go my 71 f100 I had a pair of 295/50R 15's on the rear. Bumpside bed, I had to relieve the tub with a hammer to make them not rub. The rims were wagon wheels I think they were 8" wide

315/75r16 is way too big for a stock height 2wd.
A 285/75 MIGHT fit. A 265/75 will fit.

I agree with going to a 16" wheel.

14" actually. At least on the rear. I know because somehow I have a pair of 14" steel wheels with the 5x5.5" pattern and have had them on the truck.

Those look like Demolition Derby wheels.
