Does anybody have a pic of the 90's era stock f-150 aluminum rims on a slick? These are what I'm thinking about picking up...

Careful with the stud length and/or typr of lug.. I had a ford wheel like that on the back of my slick for a short time and it lossened up on me...

We picked up a set of those for Shep with nearly new tires. They fit great.

those look good. I have the earlier version chromed steel, and I like them as well.

Jason, thanks for the heads up! Dennis, what size tire are you running?

Mugwump · Post by **Mugwump** » August 31, 2012, 4:22 pm

If I remember correctly the tires are 245/75-15

I have some 235/75r15 i can put on...just wasn't sure how they would look

Mugwump · Post by **Mugwump** » August 31, 2012, 5:09 pm

You know what - I think that's what those are... 235/75/15.

FWIW, I put 255/70-15 BFG-TA's on Alice ('65 Shortbed) with the stock suspension and 15x7's and had no rubbing issues:

Yeah I think it really has a great deal to do with offset too...and these wheels are 15x8...

90's factory wheels with factory centercaps and lugs

My neighbor's truck! TOTALLY restored except the wheels

Very nice! do you know what tire size he is running?

I have a new set of after market center caps with the red center and screws if ya need them

I'm running 255/70/15 with the factory Bronco 10-holes on my uni with no problems. I've got 235/75/15 on mid-90's factory steel wheels on my long-bed with later-model suspension and rear end, also with no problems. I want to put 10'' wide aftermarket 8-holes on it, but will have to have nearly a FWD offset, or go back to the original width rear end.

Hey Gregg thanks for the offer, my Pops is trying to put together a good matching set out of extras he has lying around...but if he can't get together a good set what do you want for yours?

This comment from Jason also has me thinking, cuz I need to pick up lug nuts...what size and type of nut have you all used on these wheels, and/or what looked best with the wheel?
