I hate to ask this question, because there's a lot of people asking, but I'm not looking for the "biggest that'll fit," just if this will fit and what issues if any.

These are for sale in CL, I don't need the rims, but they are already mounted, $300.

New at Kauffman tire they are $164 each. X4, $656 - $75 rebate = $581. Then add mount and balance.

Michelin Latitudes, 255/65r16. These are damn near the same height as the stock 235/70r16, so not much of a speedo issue. 738mm vs 736mm tall.

They will work just fine. That style of wheel is only found on 02s but will go on any 02+ truck.
 






Guy just responded, says it was a Sport Trac, looks like the same bolt pattern.
 






Those are xls wheels, 02-05. I put a set on my xlt, from my 03 xls parts truck. No issues with the wheel or tire going on your truck.
 






Good deal. Going to look at them right now.
 






Be careful with the 16s if you have grease fittings on your rear ball joints.
 






These are for my 05, they already have 16s on them.
