I don't THINK you'll find 16" wheels that will fit over the brakes on a 2004(non-Heritage) through current.

I don't know that all similar OD will meet the load requirements, likely 109 or 110, of your F150. Do check that, as a private party or unscrupulous seller might slip a low rated, thus overloaded, tire on you.

Of course that is true but I'm only looking at 17" or 18" factory take-off wheels. Another poster was thinking that the difference in a 17" and 18" wheel could cause the speedometer to no longer be calibrated. I just pointed out that it was the tires that makes the difference and I could get the same diameter tire on a 16,17, 18, or 20" wheel.
