Axis makes the regulator in 16x9. That's the only one I know of.

One othe rquestion--can I safely run 285/75/16s on these rims? I don't want to overspec my tires.

I know BFG recommends a maximum rim width of 9 inches for their 285/75-16's. Every tire manufacturers website list their recommended rim widths for each size tire.

I don't think I can get the correct bolt pattern with the Axis wheels.

I've seen a couple of 97-03 F-150's with the Axis wheels. Contact the company directly. They are offered in the 5x135mm bolt pattern unless they have been discontinued.

Wandell-yes they do make the 5x135mm. Now just have get wifey on board. You don't think those would rub with my 285/75/16s do you? Man I want to get rid of those narrow stockers bad!

I don't think you'll have any problems. I ran my 285's on 16x10's at stock height. I had to trim about a 1/2 inch of plastic off my front bumper's lower plastic valance because they were touching it when I turned.
