Help identifying wheels

It’s time for wheels and tires on my 78 f150 project. I know the ones I want, I just can’t identify them but I see them often. Does anyone know these wheels ? This is the exact look I want on mine.

thanks!

Thankyou! I can’t wait to not have to air tires up everytime I want to drive it at this point. Would you guys say those are a 33” tire ? I don’t want to lift at all ? I would like to stay factory height.

I am guessing that 33's might be a bit tight for an all stock 1/2 ton (with no lift). Also might depend on the off set/back spacing you get on the rims.

33x10.50's or 33x12.50's ?

Not gonna work out

Go with 285/75/R16. 33s will rub a little. I have a late 77 4x4 F250 and 33s were rubbing. I'm running Firestone Destination MT/2.

that looks about perfect. 285/75/r16’s it is! I don’t want any lift. This is about the perfect look for me. Now to find the wheels mentioned above in stock. First searches showed them backordered everywhere.

I was going to stick with 33x10.5 but the 285/75/16 mentioned here is about perfect and easier to come by as well. That’ll be where I go.

I got mine ordered and delivered from Tire Rack.com. I've ordered from them multiple times. Part number 875QR6DMT2OWL or something like that. Shipped to my house it cost $1277.16 with some type of rebate. I went with these because I like white letters and them facing out. Truck rides smooth at 75 mph.

LT285/75R16 FS DEST MT2. Tire Rack has them in stock.

Just curious where they were rubbing? I ran 36x12.50s on my old 79 F350, although the front of the fender opening was trimmed a little.

Full turn and bouncing (driving very fast into my driveway) it would hit the inner wheel well plastic molding. That's a damn good-looking truck.
