My Truck

hello i'm new here...
I have 2004 F150 FX4..it's pretty much all stock, the only things i have added are remote start/alarm, sirius satellite and a bug shield..
i'd like to put some rims on it ...i really like the cannon earnhard jr. rims but i dunno how those would look with the stock tires...??? i dont really want to buy new timres right now cause mine are still pretty new and when i do buy new tires i dont want anything too huge...any ideas on this?

right now my trucks just sittin in the driveway
it started making a horrible screeching/grinding sound when driving so i'm hopefully putting it in the shop this week...

and oh yea i'm a girl so if i have stupid questions dont be alarmed

here it is

Nice truck. I've always liked the Red over Grey two tone on the F-150. You better watch out because you said you were a girl and the leghumpers will be in shortly. Have pics handy. Oh, and welcome! Your truck wont be stock for long being a member of this site.

sounds like the dreaded wheel bearing problem. I had the same sounds comming from my truck at 38000 miles. right front bearing went bad. Nice truck, and the others are correct, it wont stay stock for long. Welcome to the site
