I got PowerStop kits that included the rotors and ceramic pads. They were about $145 for the front and $125 for the rear. They definitely stop better. Make sure you follow their brake-in procedure and you won't have any issues with pulsating brakes later on.

Shoot, those are the wheels on my truck. I like them, though i do want to find a set of these:

I know they are a bit harder to find, as they were a dealer installed option, but i love the way they look.

Yeah, those are nice too. Right now I've got a set of American Racing Pythons that came with the truck. I have no idea what the width or backspacing is on them. Can you tell me what size tire you have on yours?

Did I read that right? You want to run 305's on these 7 inch rims. NO. They will fit start cupping right away. You need at least an 8.5 rim for 305's to be safe. I certainly wouldn't run them. Good luck.

Well, I was wanting to if they fit. I certainly wasn't going to force the issue, which is why I was asking first before I called about the listing. Thanks for the info. So far, it's been hard to find an 8.5 rim in 16's. I'm starting to wish I had gone with 285's instead of staying with the 305's. Oh well. I'll find something eventually.

Anyone know what wheels these are? Will they fit my 2000 Lariat 4x4? I would need to find the center caps for them, so knowing what kind they are would be helpful.

p.s. I looked again and apparently they are 16x7. That's too narrow for my 305/70's isn't it?
Those are factory XLT wheels. They came stock on my 2000 f150 4x4 and I had 305/70/16 on them as well.
So your tires will fit great.
Don't ask for pics, that was 10 years ago and I wouldn't even know where to begin to look! Lol

Your a smart guy and I read a lot of helpful posts that come from you, but every once in a while you say something like this... That is not correct!
If you don't have first hand experience with the subject please don't tell people false information.

As long as you run the correct air pressure and rotate your tires they will be just fine! But that goes for any size tire.
I ran this exact setup more then once with mud terrains and all terrains and had absolutely NO strange wearing or any problems

Actually they were not a dealer installed option. Those came on the 100th Anniversary edition. Those were the only trucks that got them. The worse part is you had to had a 100th Anniv. Vin to get parts for them, and now they have all been discontinued. I'm trying to find all the badges to put on my truck because I like them better than anything else available.

To the op: 305/70's will fit fine you will have to run slightly lower are pressure to keep them flat. My 305 BFG's have a flat pattern @ 45 psi.
