Exclamation What size wheels?



I just installed a 3" lift kit and some other things, and now my wheels look like they are pulled of a beetle or something! Have anybody some experience on what size wheel i can fit on my ex? The tires on the picture are 20", but on my winter-tires i have the stock 16". They really look like ****. Any tips is very appreciated

I'll help. There are usually a lot of opinions here.

Wheels are pretty subjective, plus costs. You should go online and look at your options, also plenty of different styles to chose from on this forum.

If you want MY opinion, 2016 F250 Wheels and tires look great, I've done it twice on two different x's




Look around, buy what YOU love and forget about other's opinions.

As mentioned looks of wheel/tire combos is a very subjective topic.

Can't help too much but here is what a set of 285/75/16's look like on a filthy truck with saggy rear springs and a 2" lift shackle on the front.

Since you are in Norway, you probably have limited options.

Maybe a 305/75/16?
