I have six 315/70/17 of these. That computes to a 35" tire. They are at 80%, I took them off my truck when I went to 37" Mud-Terrains. They are about
a year old, and sell for $220 each without tax. Make me a reasonable offer!

Difficult question. Here's the reason. Ford trucks have a different kind of rim. Most every other rim is lug-centric. This means that the rim is
centered on the lug holes and that is what provides the "support" for the rim and the integrity of same. Ford rims are hub-centric, because that
function is performed by the hub hole. Most aftermarket rims, even though they will fit a superduty, are lug-centric, and therefore, strictly speaking
not according to Ford specs. Most people will tell you it doesn't matter. Being an engineer myself, I am rather picky about following engineering
specs - I figure they are there for a reason.
So, long story short, the few aftermarket rims that are hub-centric are much more expensive than other manufacturers' rims. My rims are made by Weld,
and I bought them at superdutyheadquarters.com. These are the rims: http://www.weldracing.com/Weld_Racing/wheels/258_sidewinder.... . I paid (if I remember correctly), $250 each. I bought six (two spares. Ouch!
