wheel size

I am looking for some 15-16" wheels to go with some Dick Cepek Mud Country 33x12.50 tires. I think the bolt pattern for the 2004 F150 XLT 2wd is 6 on 135 but I am not sure. Is this right? Also, what are some good wheels for that size and tires? What width should be gotten for 12.50 tires? Thanks.

depends on what you are using them for. in the mud i like to run a thinner wheel, so when you air them down the bead doesnt pop off. but for looks, a wider tire looks cooler, and will give you a wider profile. with a thinner wheel they will be taller. hope this helps..

There's a big difference between 15" and 16". One will fit, the other won't.

Do they even make wheels for the newer F150s (6 on 135 bolt pattern) smaller than 17s?

I would refer to Dick cepek as to how wide a wheel to use but probably 9.75" or 10"
