Wheel/tyre sizing?
Could someone be so kind as to let me know what the factory wheel/tyre combo's are for the '83 F100/F150?
Also, I am currently running 9.5 x 30 15's. I have the Miata tyre calculator but it doesn't cater for this sizing format. Does anyone know how that would equate in road tyre size? I am trying to work out what tyres to order for a set of 18's before I buy them.

This page will compare tire sizes and it has both formats. FWIW stock tire size on most F series was 235/75x15 on a 7-7.5" rim, but it takes a 31x10.5 on an 8" rim to look proportional IMO.

If the Truck still has it's original Factory Safety Certification lable located on the Cab just below the door striker bolt on the driver side, (Left hand Drive). It will show the Original Tire size for your truck.
I'm going to make this simply tire sizes because the wheel and tire and wheelbase combos would write a small book...
