16 inch wheels?

Hi, I have a 1995 F-150 4x2. I need new tires and was considering getting different wheels. Right now I have P235/75/R-15. Can I put a 16 inch wheel on this truck and if so, what size tire do I use. I don't want to have to modify the suspension or anything too much. I realize I will have to reprogram the speedometer. Basically, I just want a little bigger tire/wheel. Thanks.

I've got 255/70-16s on American Racing Bajas in 16 x 8 on my 96. No fittment problems whatsoever. They're 30" diameter and I could easily go to 31" tires without a problem

cool, I think I will go with the size you have. Now all I have to do is figure out where to buy my new wheels and how to reprogram the speedometer. I think I saw something in this forum on the reprogram. Thanks!

http://www.tyres1.com/ is where I bought my wheels, they were a hair cheaper than Summit Racing. But both of those places are local, so I didn't check their price for UPS. Summit includes shipping so they may be a better deal.

I would stick with 15" wheels because tires are cheaper than those for 16" wheels.
