need help fast!

I am wanting to buy some 22 inch eagle alloy wheels from someone. He has a 2005 F250 2WD.

Will these fit with NO issues on my 2003 Ford Excursion 2 WD???

Please let me know ASAP!!!!

Might wanna do a little more research. The consensus is that factory SD rims after 2004 need spacers to clear the calipers correctly. They're expensive too. $600 and up. Might just be on the 4x4's though. Someone else will chime in i'm sure though.

The tires installed are as followed.

285/50R22

So your saying that with a 22 in wheel and these tires it will rub? If so, then I am not going to consider 22's and if you have 20" and they rub, then I guess my original plan of 18" might be the way to go then.

UGH!!!! Decisions Descisions............

Ok I bought the spacers from a guy in caifornia. They are 2" spacers. You MUST have these for the correct offset. I run a set of 2010 King Ranch f250 rims 20" on 305/50 r20. They fit perfect and are spaced correctly. Search the site for the spacers or I can give you the web address when I get home. Yes they were $600. Rims were $1400. Ugh

I have a set of 325/50/22's on my X. it is a 4x4. no rub on the frame. no spacers behind the wheels. Heavy rub on the front leaf springs. Wouldn't trade it for the world though.

Yes racers truck is amazing and he alone inspired me to go big or go home...so I went big baby! I gotta do some rear fender well trimming but not too much. My wheels don't hit leafs at all but I've got a totally different offset. Offset is the key! What is the offset of your wheels? 4.5 inch backspace is perfect or near it. Width is also a consideration. Mine are a bit wide at 22x10.5.
