Rim Question

I can get a good deal on a set of 33x12.5x15 super swamper tsl's and I am wondering if they will fit on the stock rims on my 89' F-150? What size are the stock rims?


Thanks

15x7 or 7.5 either are trchnicly to skinny for the 12.5s but I have seen it done. If you go that route you will need to play with the air pressure to keep the wear even. If the tires have to much you will wear out the middle of the tread, to little and the edges will go. The best way I have heard of is to color with chalk the width of the tread on a front and a back tire drive around the block and not the wear adjust the air untill the chalk is evenly cleaned of on that drive- measure the pressure and make notfor each axel. This is time consuming but it will protect your tire $$$
