Are the bolt pattern,centerhole and back spacing all the same on 2011 super duty rims as on a 2001? A guy I work with put big tires and lift on his 2011 f250 xlt and said he would sell his stock rims to me at a good price. Will they fit my 2001 f250?

They will bolt up, but they will be sucked in about 2 inches each side. Get some QUALITY 2" spacers to put those wheels where they belong.

Avoid any that say "Shipping 6-14 days" ... The china ones suck.

Any made in USA should be good. Dont cheap on them.

How does a 2" spacer work without changing the studs?

I personally would not use the rims nor use the spacers. There is a significant amount of weight on the wheels of these trucks. You're going to be counting on spacers made by who knows to hold that weight, handle all the rear wheel torque, as well as all the breaking and steering torque.

The spacers will also modify the steering geometry in ways that no engineer has probably spent much time considering.

Not worth the risk, in my opinion.

Like other have said you will need 2" spacers. The best ones I have seen out there are BORA adapters. Which ever ones you do decide to go with make sure they are at least hub centric. If you don't mind paying a little extra you can get ones that are both hub centric and wheel centric.

Alot of people run away from the idea of spacers. When using them correctly they allow you to run wheels with different backspacing and allows them to be at OEM backspacing.

You pretty much asked the same question as the OP, so the replies posted in this thread apply to you too.

There is nothing wrong with a spacer as long as it's a GOOD one and is putting the contact patch of the tire in the proper place. Proper place is in the place it should be relative to the bearings and suspension. GOOD studs are even more important since it's the tension in the fasteners holding everything together. Spacers aren't necessarily a bad thing. Ever see the spacer on the front of a dually?

The change in SuperDuty rims came about in '05 when the 4X4s went from leaf spring front suspension to coil spring fronts, the axles got wider so the back spacing of the rims was changed to keep the tires sitting in the same position under the trucks.
So yes, your 2007 KR will wear 2011 rims without any drama, direct swap.

Rim size

Will a 20 inch rim off a newer F 250 either King Ranch lariat or Harley edition fit on my 97 f 250 powerstroke with the full floating axle? Yes I know they're both 8 lug but is the spacing correct?
