Stock wheel width

I have a 1990 4wd f150 and i need to know the rim width (i.e. 15x7) so i know how wide of tires can be mounted on them. They are painted grey and have a trim ring and are styled like this

only grey

Look on the weight sticker on the door jamb. I think it will tell you on there. I want to say that they are 8" wide, but I can't remember for sure. You could always bust out a good ol tape measure.

Pretty sure stock (OEM) on my 89 F150 4x2 is 15 x 7 ... maybe 4x4 has more options. Check door jamb sticker as mentioned.

Do you know for sure that your wheels are really stock size?

Yup, it's either a 7" or 7.5" wheel, usually just the bare bone steelies are 7". The largest tire depends on the width, no more than 10.50 on them. I have some 11.5's mounted on my 7.5"s but they're spare tires (I use them for inspections) and doing that will cause them to wear incorrectly.
