need some help

I got a set of 2004 f250 wheels and tires to put on my 2003. i guess the offset is less on the 2004 [color=blue! important][font=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif][color=blue! important][font=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]wheels[/font][/font][/color][/color], so the will not fit? is the only solution to get spacers?

Are they hitting the caliper or something. I cant recall the slight difference in backspacing being an issue. If you install spacers you may find another problem. Those are hub-centric wheels, and the spacer would greatly decrease the weight capacity.

no they arent hitting the caliper its hitting the steering arm knuckle. with my old wheels it is about 1.5 inch gap between the nuckle and the rim?

i eleive its about 1.5 difference on the back spacing.from the edge of the back of the rim to the center is 4" on the old and 5.5" on the 04 wheels
