I have seen this size but they were very high priced. Around 300 to 400 per wheel if I remember correctly. I am running 16X10 on my truck with 2" spacers. Spacers are not the way to go if you are driving it every day. I only drive my truck about 2000 miles a year. Just a toy now with the gas prices the way they are.

This is good news for me as I would like to get my spacers off and go with a wider wheel.

all of those are Conical seat. doesn't the f150 require Hub Centric type wheels or can you just use different lug nuts.

I dont personaly know any other vehicle (truck) that used 5x135 other than a F150 so I would assume they would all fit assuming you use the correct lug nuts. I have seen them both hub centric and rim centric, I dont even know which ones I got since it was done at the shop. I wish I had used 10" wheels on my 285's, it seems there is still a good amount of bulge in the sidewalls with 8's, and it looks stock still. I kinda like the more flat sidewall look myself, but I already spent the money and there on the truck so not much I can do now. I do like them though.
