Also if they are before 2005 you are good, after 2005 the offset changed and they will not work on your truck with out spacers

I bought a set of King Ranch wheels with caps , nuts and Pro Comp tires for 100 bucks at a garage sale.
The women didnt know what year they were off, so I hope I got lucky.
She also through in a brand new stock spare.

Same sale I bought a brand new never used reciever hitch (adjustable one ) withj sway bars for 50 bucks.

2005 20 inch rims

Hey Waltdog I see here you say that after 2005 the rims wont fit. I was looking at a set of 2005 harley davidson rims, and the guy currently has them mounted on a 2003 F350. He said he doesnt have spacers, and no leveling kit, and they mounted right up.

Maybe he is wrong with the year that they came off of?

Anybody have any ideas?

Thanks
Dennis

Anyone? The guy wants me to come look at the rims tomorrow. I don't want to waste my time or his if they wont fit. But since they are on an 03, I would imagine they would fit?

thanks
Dennis

The wheels will physically bolt on, but you will likely have tire rub on the front when turning. The 2005-up wheels have a deeper backspace compared to the 1999-2004 wheels. Something like 4.25"-4.5" for the 99-04 and 5.25" for the 05+.

OOOOO okay so is that why people say you would need wheel spacers?

Hmm I don't know if I should even bother going to look at them then.

Save my money for something else I suppose

thanks buddy

I have a set of 04 rims with my snow tires on them. 285/75r16. They fit with no porblem but the lug nuts are different. I think the guys at discount tire said there was a 1 mm or so difference in lug bolts. My snow tires dont rub on anything. Take a tape measure with you to look at them

The change in wheel backspace came in 2005, with the addition of coil sprung front suspension. 04 wheels should be the same backspace as 99-03 wheels.


The difference in lug nuts came in 2002(I believe) the change was from course to fine thread pitch. M14-2.0(coarse) to M14-1.5(fine)
