So my 2cents...I say it depends on where you live and what you drive in, I find When I lived in So California [for 48 years] I needed a wide tire and a tire that could take the heat of the desert, most of the off road trips there was sand and the 33X12.50X15's do well, but now that I am in Washington state I am in the snow mutch more often and when I get new tires I am getting 33's but skinner tires that don't "float on top of the snow so much.

I think you will find most if not all of the older ford f150s are 5x5.5 bolt pattern. and when it comes down to style of rim. it depends on the person. i myself love Chrome. i prefer the Chrome Steel wheels over Aluminum Rim's but hey thats just me. Not to say they dont look good i just like to see myself in the rims lol. best i can tell you is to do a little online research and see what is out there. what looks good to you. and what you can afford. Iv even seen some people paint there stock rims (Quality depends on painter! lol). you could even go the cheap way and pickup a stock rim like yours at a junk yard. and just run 10.5's insted of 11.5.

I was thinking bout going with 32's also. I noticed that a buddy of mine who has 33's on his truck. its a 96 250 with a 4 inch lift and 33's. He shimed the front bumper about 1 1/2 inches n it works for him. So im thinkin bout doing that with my stock height. Think that would work on 32's?

I have 31's on my stock suspension 96 4x4 and they only just clear without rubbing. Not only the bumper/valance, but also the fender well of the truck. I am not sure 32's will work, even if you move the bumper out a little.
