WTB: 5x5.5 16'' Alcoas

Post by highroad »

Hey Guys,
Looking for 5 16'' Alcoas in 5x5.5 bolt pattern. I realize these are fairly rare, and came on some E-150 Vans, but I need the 16's to clear larger brakes on my Prerunner project.

Thanks,
Brent

I had a set. My advice, go to a 17" wheel. Your choice in tire size, and manufacturer are super limited in a 16" tire. And the cost is much higher.

Thanks Nick, but I want a little more sidewall/less weight with 35's/16's vs going to 17''s. Also wanting to keep the "ford" look with the wheels and plan to have OMF beadlock them.

There are more tire options in 17's, but most of the tires I am interested in (BFG's, Generals, Goodyears etc.) are available in 16's and less money than 17's, at least for now.

Wish you still had your set, lol!

Thanks again.

Then I'd suggest the American Racing Baja's. . . Small holes, quality wheel and a bit better than factory offset

The AR172baja wheel is an option, as well as the AR23.

The AR's are 16x8, 4.5 BS.

Stock Fords are 16x7, 25mm offset?, so 3.5"+ 0.98" = 4.48" BS

Prefer the stock Ford Wheels for sentimental value :) So far I possibly have located 1, 5 spoke Alcoa. Still looking......

Appreciate the help and suggestions everyone.

I have a pair of American racing rims 16" 5x5.5 they look very similar to the Alcoas. I also have 3 outlaw II's 16"
