1971 F250 Ranger - wheels and tires

[Toongee]

Hey all,
Looking for info/opinions.
I have a 71 F250 Ranger that currently has 9.50 R16.5 tires on it.
Trying to decide if it's better for me to replace the 16.5 wheels with 16 wheels or just stick with the 16.5 wheels and go with the limited selection of tires.
Anyone have thoughts or experience?

Serial - F25YRK40783

Thanks.

Head to the salvage yard and find an Econoline with 16 inchers..... definitely worth it. 16.5s are on the way to the age of the dinosaurs.

Here's my 71 F250 wearing 245/70-16s and custom painted hubcaps.

Better yet is simply buy brand new 16" wheels. I found four very cheap and I knew they would fit and wasn't all rusted out.

Try ebay or a good truck tire shop
