Wheel questions
Whats up all. I'm new to the forum. I just bought an 86' f150 4x2 that I'm looking to fix up. On the top of my to-do list is new wheels and tires, but I have a few questions. What is the bolt pattern for my model and year of truck? I'm looking to get something in the deep dish variey of wheel. Maybe a classic muscle car look. Something in the neighborhood of 15x8 or 15x10.

</TD><TD width="100%"> has a nice setup, if your not able to picture what I'm thinking, check out his profile. Can I fit a 15x10 without modifying my suspension, and avoid rubbing issues? </TD></TR></TBODY></TABLE>
Also, what offset/backspacing is recomended? Any help you can provide is appreciated. This forum community seems really great so far. Thanks!

I can't remember the bolt pattern but it is pretty standard for Ford. Im sure someone will chime in with that info. however keep your backspacing close to stock and even take it up some, I can't stand to see a good old ford truck with hoopty wheels hittin both the berm line and median goin down the road. I'm pretty sure cragar sells wheels for these trucks too, may want to look.

Thank you, the tires are 275/60/15 Cooper Cobra's and the back spacing is 3.75 inches. Also it is the stock suspension, if you plan to drop yours though I would recommend a wheel that sits in the wells a little farther. Mine clears fine but I think it is going to be tight when I drop it.
