Tire Question

I have a chance to get a set of truck tires with about 5000 miles on them for free. The only problem is they are for 16" rims. I want to get custom rims anyway. Will moving up to 16" rims pose a problem with an otherwise stock setup?
Thanks!

Larry

Only problem I could see is if you got the wrong offset on the wheels xericx

Tire Question

16" 5 lug rims are going to cost you a little more than 15" would.
You might be able to find a '97 up F150 stock type rim, I think they went to 16" in '97 F150s, with 5 lugs, these would be cheaper, and probably easier to find, like say a top line late model auto parts dismantler (aka-junkyard)
