17" Wheels to 16"
#16
Hi NINO,
I really like the looks of your truck. I would like to put the same wheels and tires on my 98 ORP SC. Unfortunatly I will not be able to get the lift kit installed over here in Germany. At least not right away. What I would like to know is do your tires rub now on the unlifted truck? From the photos it looks like you have plenty of room around the tire. Parking is "hairy" sometimes here and I am often going lock to lock. Will i be fine?
Donald Temple I would like you to answer this question as well because I too would opt for 8 inch rims with that tire height.
Thanks
John

I've got a 98 F150 XLT 4x4 without ORP. I've already upgraded the shocks, and im going from 16' wheels to 17's. I was wondering if anyone in here wants to sell their 17" ORP Rims. I will pay for shipping and handling,and of course, cost of rims. If possible, without tire?? please email me or reply back on this message board. I haven't talked to ford yet so i have no idea on what they go for. I'm sure its around 400 bucks or so. not completey sure though.

These are pretty sweet tires with a few more options on sizes for 17" & 18" wheels.

Hey 98F150xlt4x446
Do you have the polished alum XLT wheels?
I hate mine, they hold about a cup of water when I wash them. Then it gets slung out (on the side of the truck )when I drive it. Bad, Bad, Bad design, that guy needs a reality check. I am suprised Ford is still putting them on trucks.
P>S If you buy 17's would you sell 1 of your 16" to replace my spare wheel?
