wheel sizing questions.

I have searched for my answer and have found some close answers.

But I need more information so here's my newbie question.

<?xml:namespace prefix = o ns = "urn:schemas-microsoft-comfficeffice" /><o></o>

My 77 F150 4x4, I just bought some BFG 33”12.5R15 M/T tires and need to buy wider rims.

I know I have a 5 lug axle but what kind of offset and backspacing should I get?

<o></o>

I don’t want the tires to stick out and produce clearance issues on the fenders.

<o></o>

I was looking on American Racing’s site at the AR-767 for a good steel rim that’s cheap.

<o></o>

Is this right:

<o></o>

Size 15x8 or 15x10 with what offset? and what backside (is this the same as backspacing) with a bolt circle of what? (5x5 ½)

<o></o>

<o></o>

Any help would be great.

<o></o>

Thanks

Your bolt pattern is 5 x 5.5.

Might want to call/email American Racing and see what they recommend for your pickup/tire combo...
