Wheels?
I asked this in the New Jersey Chat but I want to make sure everything is correct. Probably been asked this before but I am not to good at using the search. So here is my question.
We have a 2002 Ford F250 4x4 that is really clean has the stock wheels on it and I like them. Well during the winter here in Snowflake, Arizona we get snow and I don't want those wheels getting dirty and not getting the chance to clean them or them rusting so here is my suggestion. The local delarship has a steal of a price for a set of 4 wheels and tires almost brand new off a 2012 XL or XLT F350 they are 17's. Will these fit our 2002 F250? The hole in the middle is what I am mainly concerned about because I don't want them to it to be bigger because the local tire shop said that that can ruin things. Anyways will it work or not?
BTW: According to my dad the wheels are like my stock ones but like a primer gray. Here is a pic of mine. I would use the gray ones for winter.

Bring your truck to the dealer and try one on. Like I said, I don't know for sure.

The offset is what would kill that plan. You would need spacer's to allow the front wheels to clear the leaf spring's. They started using a different offset in 2005 and up SD's, when they went to coils.
Spacer's are very bad idea's, unless you spend allot of money on good ones, and for the price of good ones you could buy new wheels.

Aside from the problem w/ the spacers, you would be stuck w/ the crappy OEM tires on the dealer rims. There's a reason people change them.
