Default What size are they




My dad and I are sharing this f150 and he said I could do whatever I want to it as long as I paid for it. I would like to get a lift and bigger tires but I'm gonna keep it simple and keep the tires on it now so it will be smooth when he drives it and until he gets another truck I don't plan on doing any lifts yet not even a leveling kit. My main concern is rims. I know what rims I want, motto metals mo951 rims but I don't know if they will fit on the stock tires. I believe the stock rims are 17s

Well i have some M0961s on order and the smallest diameter is 18". You havent been Googling have you. :l

Edit- check inside your door jamb or existing tires for the stock size.

The door jam sticker will tell you the stock size. The tires will have the size on them as well. Post both sizes and I can convert them into standard if they are in metric. Your wheels look like 16" wheels, but look at the tire for a size. It will say something like 285/75R16 or something. The last number is your wheel size.

You need to do a lot more research. How wide do you want the wheel to be? 8", 9", 10", 11", 12" etc. How much offset and backspacing do the wheels have? You told us just the name of a wheel without and specs on it. It's hard to say that a style of wheel will fit without knowing what size tires you have, and what size wheel you want.

EDIT:
Moto metal MO951's do not come in our bolt pattern. We have a 5x135 bolt pattern, here is all the wheels Moto metal offers for our trucks.

Truck is perfect as is.

Spend your money on stereo, and girls.

Unless you need different size wheels for a different size tire , $1000 on wheels is a waste.

Theres tradeoffs to lifts and big tires. All bad.

I have the same wheels, They're 17's I painted them flat black, except for the center cap. I think they look beastly painted. with the chrome center cap.

265/70/r17 I'd say do maintenance and new tires if you wanted. That's a good looking truck as is. I'd get some Firestone destination A/T's or some BFG KO2's here's mine with the firestones. Have almost 3,000 miles on them and still have the nubs on the tread have gone places in 2WD that I couldn't get past in 4x4 LOW with my old tires. They ride better and are quiet and don't stick out too much because of Huge letters. Also for appearance I'd take the grille out and repaint it like a matte black. It's supposed to be that color anyway or a dark gray.

To each his own. I think those stock rims look like crap and would replace them as well. I also disagree lifts and bigger tires are all bad. To you maybe, but I have been running a 3" lift and bigger tires for the last 187,000 miles and the truck has been great.
