datchew...check with your local tire store...they should be able to order whatever rims you want in just about whatever size...i found i can get 5 lug 16" tires at one of the stores here for about 300 bucks for a set....add 75 for the spare rim....
also...Red made a really really good point on the safety issue....i have a son that will be 3 in may, and i wouldn't do anything to my truck that could possibly jeapardize his well-being and safety...

I plan on lifting mine soon too and I am gonna have to do a suspension lift.....I have an 18 mo son Brant Alban, first kid, and I ain't gotta tell you , he's my pride and joy. I guess I look at it as a matter of safety....and those lifts aren't always that!!

I've had both 32x11.50's and 31x10.50's on my 86. For the street, the 32's are fine, for the trail I'd stay with 31's. I've seen these trucks with 35's with the stock suspension.
With larger tires then 31's you'll hit the body from time to time on the front. If the body is rusty you could sawzall the wheelwells and run bigger tires.

here is a link to a convertor for metric to standard a 235/75/15 is a 28.9-75/15 tire I had 33's on my 86 f150 2wd would rub on lock to lock turns also you have to watch rim with if only using standard rims. rember that Dodge rims (older) are same bolt pattern as Ford check local junk yards for 4X4 doges they had a nice alum rim that was I believe 7 or 8 inches wide. can get them cheap as low demand. type in metric tire to inches in google and it will give listing for
4lo calculator and can use that to figure out size.

thanks guys.
i'm not looking for off-road tires or anything like that.
i've got access to some on/off basically "dirt-road and pavement only" tires that are 16" but my stock rims are 15"
MontanaFord ... i did check with the local stores and they all said that the wagon wheel 5 lug only go up to 15".
Summitracing(dot)com (i can't write links... junior member you know) shows 5 lug only up to 15" as well.
Guess i'll keep digging or just buy new tires to go on my stock rims.

Wheel Vintiques has 16x7 and 16x8 white wheels with 4 inch back spacing and a 5 on 5 1/2 bolt circle. They list for $72 and $81 (Jobber) each and the P/N's are 82-675504 for the 16x7 and 82-685504 for the 16x8. They're also available in chrome, and summit lists the chrome ones, so I'm sure you could order the white ones.
These have round holes, they're not wagon wheels, but they could be close enough for you...
You can also try stockton wheel. I know they make all kinds of different wheels.
Look at the numbers both ways, it may be cheaper to sell the 16's and buy some 15" tires....

try the junk yards Dodge truck in the 90's came with 16 x7 rims 5x51/2 bolt pattern should be able to find them easy and cheap as there is a low demand for them. can get aftermarket wheels also. look for 1997 or 98 Ram 1500 as came with the 16x7 wheels
