Superduty Wheels

What year did they change the offset? I'm looking at a set of 06 wheels for my 2002.

IIRC, the post-05 wheels run about an inch or an inch and a half narrower track width on the inside, the youtube excursion guy used 2" spacers to clear them on his Ex. I don't have a subscribed thread to pull the specs out of real fast, but there's a couple good ones if you search.

Thanks. I'm on my phone and FTE mobile has a search worse than the normal one if you can imagine!

Thanks for the answers guys.

So a 2" spacer would work fine? It's just an idea I'm mulling around

2" spacer would make it so you dont have to cut your original wheel studs down.

I thought using the spacers did 3 things, keeps the tires from hitting things, returns the original track width of the vehicle, and most importantly keep the center of the tire properly located so that when you turn the tire it spins on a vertical axis rather than roll in a arc.

Also neat, Custom rims, wheel tire packages for your ride - RIMSnTIRES.com
