yeah you can. but its hard to find them in 5x135 bolt pattern. your best bet is to get wheel spacers with adapters or change the bolt pattern.

I looked around a little and didn't find much but these, but they are only 16.5x9.75

Most of the 16.5 wheels are on 8 lug wheels, so.... to save some money on your tires, you could do a conversion to 3/4 axles and while your at it get a nice big lift too

no. it does. you dont mix and match rim size to tire size. it wont work. 16" rim to 16" tires.

yes you must have 16.5" rims.... my old 97 f150 had 16.5x9.75 mickey thompson classic 2s... was hard to find rims back then probably harder now due to most new fords going to 6x135 instead of 5x135
plus thornbirds are a HEAVY tire.... so you'll probably want gears asap... I'd keep looking plus a 14.5" wide tire your gonna need a lot of lift or a lot of trimming... my 37x12.5 on a 16x10" rim with 11" of lift still rub on full turn..

i didnt realize that they were thornbirds. DO NOT BUY THEM! the nick name for them are turd birds! they really suck. they are like a really big all terrain tire. they suck off road.

you are not going to like super swampers unless all you are doing is mudding. they are noisy on the road and they wander like hell. plus, if the roads are wet, slip and slide. get yourself a decent mud terrain and you will be happy.
