Hey I was at the inlaws sat and my brother in-law offered me a set off 33s for free so I took em..
They are 33 12.5 16 .... my stock wheels are 16x7 I realize this isnt ideal so I was looking for some wider wheels...
problem is I cant find any wide enough was looking for steel wheels probly 16x10s maybe... bolt pattern is 5x4.5 / 114.3 beleive thats same as some jeeps.
Any ideas appriciated Thanks!

I would go 16x8. For a Jeep you would want 4.5" to 4" of backspacing. I would assume that your Ford would need the same.

do you think the 1 extra inch in width is worth it?
Im pretty new to 4x4s I had one long time ago but I never did anything to it.
I was big into sport compact cars autoX and stuff like that. but that knowlegde doesnt really translate to 4x4s.
How much would you want for the wheels? yah 4.5 is the backspacing most wheels for rangers have

wow those are almost too nice for my truck lol.. I was gonna go with steel wheels if I could becuase of cost... Im a carpenter and works been real slow...
But Ill see what I can come up with and let you know if I have that much ...they are really nice.
I looked around and it seems alot of people run 33 12.5 on 8 inch wide wheels so I guess its not a big deal eh?

BFG MTs are OK in the snow, POS on ice. If you can, keep your stock tires and rims for the winter.

I thought only ice skates were good on ice.
