OEM Wheel Specs

Whats the OEM wheel specs for our F-150?
I don't have the OEM wheels but would like to upgrade in the near future once I install the DreamBeams because my current 15x10 (0 offset) wheels poke out enough where they will hit the fenders after the drop.

Check the cert label on the lift door jamb as this should have the tire & wheel size on it.

If you cut the wheels left & right without the drop checking both side dose it hit anywhere?
If not then maybe you can go in a little bit to clear the fender?

Do you know what size tire you want to run yet?
That would tell you how wide the wheel has to be for the tires to fit right.

I believe I'm running 275/50/15 on 15x10 Wheels, easier to see the back set on how much it pokes out with a 0 offset.

You sure that is 0 off set?
That looks like a lot of dish on the outside of the wheel.
You should pull a wheel and measure the off set to see just what you have.

A 10" wheel is pretty wide, I would say an 8" is about what would fit with out much issues.
But if the tire you want to run calls for a 10" wheel you will have a problem.

Getting ready to pull my rear gas tank today, I pulled an original tire and rim from beneath my 1986 4x2 F150. It is a 15x6 rim with a one and one eighth inch positive offset. The original Firestone tire is a 215-75R/15.
