I saw a pic of a 92-96 F150 flareside I believe that was lowered and it had the lightning wheels on it. The bolt pattern on the lightning wheels are not the same as 92-96 but I think there is aftermarket lightning style wheels that have the right bolt pattern

You could use the 93-95 Lightning wheels. I thought about doing this myself.

I thought about using the "old" Lightning wheels too. But I got 4wd. Will they fit over the lock-outs? What size where those 17's?

You can buy almost any GEN 2 or Harley replica with your bolt pattern. They look EXACTLY like the orginals except for the logo on the center cap.

Factory 96 and earlier wheels will fit as they are standard measure. Factory 97 and up will NOT fit as they are metric. If you have any questions just go down to your local tire and wheel shop and check with them. Watch out for aftermarket quality!
