Question Wheel spacer question??

Hey guys, I got a good deal on a set of king ranch rims, and I put them on my 2000 f350 2wd. The off set is quite a bit different from the old rims.. I need 1.5" wheel spacers. Dose anyone know if these spacers will affect my weight capacity??

Should not be an issue as long as you use quality spacers (hub-centric)

Spacers are used to compensate for back space of the wheel and/or tire width so you don't rub the springs when turning. When you discuss tire height, you are looking at the height of your suspension and what will fit in the WW.

Someone with a dually will chime in that runs 285's and give you a better idea

I run 285-75-16s and have had 305-70-16s with a 2" adapter here is a write up I did on them, start at the adapters on the bottom of the page and go backwards .Ford Truck Enthusiasts Forums - 1996pwrstrk's Album: Dually adapter
