Tire/wheel choices

[halo15]

99 mercury Mount 5.0 - looking for recommendations on a tire/wheel setup.
Will the below wheel size fit along with a set of KO2s - 265/75-R16: 31.7x10.4 aka 32x10.5. ?
I have already done the front torsion twist along with rear shackles. Any pics of something similar appreciated. Have no idea how these will look on my rig.

Thanks!!

Those are 8 lug wheels. You need 5 lug on 5.25" pattern.

Yea - sorry, was the first pic I found and just pasted from the photo.

The stock offset and backspace helps tire clearance and bearing wear. Keep that in mind

I can't give you exactly what you are looking for, but I have Cragar Soft 8s in 15x8 with 31x10.5x15 BFG KO2s on my '99 Sport. I have 1.5" lift springs in the rear and about 1" of torsion twist in the front and could easily fit 32s with a tad more trimming of the inside of the front bumper, but the 31s were free so I'll run them until they wear out. I think the Cragars look pretty good with the factory Ford wheel caps.
