I have those in a 15x8 on my truck. So if you look at the offset specs and they are the same then you should be ok depending on how tall of a tire your going to use. As far as shipping I'm not sure. I bought mine from "summitracing.com" but I'm not sure if they ship out of the US.

Nice wheels, I almost bought a set of those a few weeks ago, guy had 4 he bought for a jeep and never used, they were 16x8 but had 4.5" backspacing which is to much for our trucks and would cause a lot of rubbing on the trailing arms so I had to leave without them, which sucked considering how little he wanted for them. You want about 3.5" backspacing btw...

Checked J. C. Whitney, think they're the same wheels, Mickey Thompson 17 x 9. They do have international shipping, not sure about wheels. Check them & see.

I have those on my shorty 2WD, but in 15 x 8's. I have them mounted on a set of 31" x 10.50" M/T's. Very strong, lightweight wheels. This combo actually weighs less than the stock steelie's on 235/75's. Don't like the rake of the truck, so I'd like to level out the front some day.
Truck looks good, even though the body needs a little TLC. I'll post a pic when I get a chance.

Edit: finally got some pics this weekend.

The link and pic no longer work.

I found an image. Those wheels look good. I like them. However, if they are bare aluminum have them clearcoated before you even put them on or you will have to polish them every week.

I say no bigger than 16 inch wheels though. Our body style trucks look goofy with big wheels. Besides that the tires will cost more too.

Was looking at my LMC ( sponsor I think ) catalog today & saw they have wheels. Not sure if they have the style you want. They do international orders too. You can get a free catalog from them too. Just checked the list of vendors. They're not on there. Still a well known supplier of truck parts here in the U. S.

If you are putting them on the 91 the part # you listed will not work. That one shows the bolt pattern as 5x150 which is fo rthe 2003-up F150s. You will need a 5x5.5 or 5x139.7 bolt pattern.
