So then do you think 5 lug rims of an 89 ford f-150 will fit on my truck, i can get them cheap and they got 33 tsl mudders on them

I don't know on the backspacing but any 5on5.5 will fit the bolt pattern. I think you would be fine on the center hole as well. I found my rims off a bronco but same pattern.

Is there any way you can do a test fit before you buy? They should fit my friend has an early 80's ford F150 that I borrow the rims and tires off of for inspection.

I removed mine from the truck, cut it open, removed the crap and welded it back together.

8 months later...no problems.
