rim dimensions?

i have a 2000 f250 and i currently have 35" tires on the stock rims, so im looking at buying new rims but i dont know what rims will push the tire out 1.5" so that i can take the wheel spacer off. i plan on putting a 4in lift on soon

Not sure I can answer your question about removing the spacer, but I just bought a used set of wheels tires (35x12.5x17 BFG KM2 on 17 inch rims). My truck is a 2000, and I have no lift... Just a bit of rubbing at 2/3 turn, I'm going to try a level kit first and see if that fixes the rub. Anyhow, the rim is a Eagle Alloy 114, which according to the web is a minus 20mm offset, or a 4.65 backspace. I don't touch the springs at full turn, so I think it's a good setup.

The wheels/tires came with a 6 inch lift, but I'm going to try to get away with not installing it... If I wanted 6 inches, I'd put on 37's.

That helps. I did the conversion from mm offset to in and I need about a -20mm like the set u just bought.

If ur going to run the 35's with a leveling kit u will need to trim the bumper and fender a litte to clear. Remeber at full turn the truck ill tilt or a bump may cause the wheel to hit.

Im no help but you need to figure out the off set change that youll need to push them out. I just took my 315/75-16 or 34.5x12.5 snow tires off my truck today that are mounted on 04 factory rims, mine is also lifted and looked goofy with them. What width tires are you wanting or are running
