To decide on tires and wheels you need to know what type suspension front and rear, and also what body modifications are you planning?

Welcome to the site. My grandfather was from stavanger.

I hoping to get tires installed in the morning. I will look at what they have to offer but I'm leaning toward 225-65-16 (7" rims) in the front and 245-65-16(8" rims) in the rear. Your suspension will likely be a determining factor in which tire you choose.

Here's a link with more info https://www.ford-trucks.com/forums/5...ight=tire+size

This won't help you in connecting with distant relatives but if you are searching this forum for a certain subject, and you don't have enough posts to use the search option on this forum, you can do it using Google, or another search engine. Go to Google, enter your subject then go to the box along the "Domain" line and enter "www.ford-trucks.com". The threads you are looking for should turn up.

Good luck and welcome to the board,

Bob

I have asked about the Rims/wheel question in my Tread about Corvette Ifs/Irs but did not get any reply on that, i also have tried many search on it before, so i figure why not try a tread.

Thanks a lot. our family name is Tweedt.

It looks like your going to be hitting your post count soon. There are a lot of our trucks with at least 20's on them over here. one of them being Chip Fooses 56. You might be able to google it up to take a look at.
