their is multiple factory wheels for the 87-96 trucks and some of them have different backspacing.


For example the chrome wagon wheels have more backspacing then the stock steel wheels that are on our 90 F150.
Not sure what the exact backspacing is since I never measured it and I am now running different wheels on my 88 F150 (Aftermarket with even more backspacing) but I thought I would let you know that.

Maybe I'll take a tape measure the next time I go to the scrap yard. Seems like that would be some good information to add to the F150Forum database lol

I'm 90% sure my wagon wheel rims off an 8th gen were 15x8 with 4" backspacing. 33x12.5 rubbed at full lock on the one side only, I wouldn't go bigger, unless you went bigger and thinner.

You'd also be surprised how cheap new steel rims are online, think mine were $80 a rim for 15x10 with 3.75 backspacing, they stick out quite a ways farther and don't rub at all anymore.
