rims+tires on 2wd f250 fit??

[bllavenka]

I have a 03 f250 2wd with 6.0 diesel, I hate the little tires that came on this truck 230/85/16. I would like to put some bfg 285/65/18 on some 18x9 xd diesel these rims have a 5" backspace. I am looking to fill the wheel well and not stick out. Will these fit or any suggestions

The wheel backspacing changed in '05. This means that you need to use 99 to '04 rims to keep the right backspace.

'05 and later rims will require addition of wheel spacers. This adds quite a lot of cost to the installation in addition to adding extra load to the wheel's lug bolts. I would look for '04 rims. These would fit fine.
