What would be the consequence of using 5'' backspace wheels on my F250 70?


Would wheels stay out of the fender? Any other con?


Better keep BS at 4''?


Thanks a lot.

 

If the wheels are aluminum there is good chance they would hit the twin piston caliper which I guess you have. Test fit before purchase would be a good idea if possible.

 

assuming stock axles and fender edge:

The back will be flush and the front will stick out about 3/4" with a 12.50 tire.

 

The wheels are steel...these:

They have size 16x8 with 4'' BS or 16x10 with 5'' BS.

And these are the tires I'd add to the above wheels:

They're 900-16, what is the equivalent in metric? Will they match the 16x8 wheels?

Sorry so many questions I'm a bit lost and I'm a newby here...

 

10" is too wide for a 9.00-16 tire, 8" wide is th max I'd go.

9.00-16's are a cool, vintage military tire size, but they are also an old school bias ply tires. They will ride rough and flat spot a bit when they're parked for a while.

They're 36.3" tall, is that what you're looking for?

 

Yes, that's the kind of tires I'm looking for, only that this is a pretty tall at 36.3'' and could brush the inner front fender when turning?, at the moment I have 9.50x16.5 Firestones which I believe are much shorter...Am I right?

 

Grab a tape measure and tell us.

 

Yes, you are correct. I think the 9.50R16.5 tires are 30"-31" tall.
