wheels question

I'm thinking of changing my truck wheels, but I'm not sure if they fit my truck. Right now I'm running Pro-Comp 305-70-17 with OEM Wheels.

Next tires I'm going to get are the 315-70-17, but I want the Weld Cheyenne Wheels, these are the available sizes:

1) 17x10 Cheyenne (6X135 Bolt pattern) 4.5" Backspacing

2) 17x10 Cheyenne (6-5.5 Bolt pattern) 4.5" Backspacing

3) 17x8.5 Cheyenne (6-5.5 Bolt pattern) 4.5" Backspacing

What are the recommendations?

F-150 1999
4X4, 5.4L
3" PA Lift Kit

Your bolt pattern is 5x135mm. None of those wheels will fit your truck. You can fit the 315's since you have a body lift with an 8 to 10 inch wide wheel. Most of the wheels for your truck will have 4 1/2 or 4 5/8 inches of backspacing. A few 17x9's have 5 inches of backspacing. Any of these wheels will work. You will probably have to crank up your torsion bars and trim a little plastic off the front bumper's lower valance to fit the 35's.

Right now I got the 3" PA Lift Kit.
Do you think that I will need more lift ?
If I install the 10" and 35 tires?

Right now I got the 33x12.5 (Procomp)
with OEM wheels, with no rubbing.

The problem I saw is that the tire wear is not unifom, maybe this wheels (I think they are 7" or 7.5") needs to be wider.
Correct me if I'm wrong.

You don't need more lift, it's just a tight fit. You will have to do some minor trimming with a 10 inch wide wheel but it's not a big deal. You are right, the OEM wheels are 7.5 inches wide, which is a little narrow for that size tire.
