i need wheels

i want to know where i can get some good wheels for my 1992 2wheel drive f-150. bolt pattern 5 by 5.5". I like a 5 spoke pattern and not chrome. I also want 16" or 17" with 9" wide tires. What kind of width will I need to get it to handle pretty good. I have a line on some 8" width by 16" but it seems like they should be wider for such a heavy vehicle. Any advice?

Don't forget, if you go to a taller than stock tire, no matter what rim size, you will have to deal with speedo calculations and maybe even gear changes depending on how tall of a tire. Also keep an eye on backspacing. Just something to think about.

Good Luck

Kevin
