Hi Guys,

Im looking to replace the factory wheels on my 2002 F250 with a leveling kit. I was wanting to go with an 18x9 or something in that range. I found one I like with 0 offset, so 5" backspacing. From the searching I have done, I am not sure a 5" backspace would cause rubbing on the leaf spring or not. Anyone running this setup?

Also, anyone running 18x9's with -12 or 0 offset, please post picture.

Thanks in advance!

 

17x9 with -12 offset. 295-70-17 tires. Truck has a 1 inch taller block in the rear and a leveling kit in the front. No rubbing on springs or fenders. The only rubbing is on my molded plastic mudflaps which could be easily solved by putting on some flat rubber mudflaps. Tires stick out about an inch from the body.

 

Thanks for the info! Have yu ever looked under it at full lock to see how close they are to the springs?

 

I haven't looked at the springs but I can tell you that if I went any bigger on the tires or got an offset that pushed the wheels any farther out I would hit the rear edge of the fender opening at full lock

 

I installed 18x8 wheels and Toyo Open Country 285-75-18 tires on my old F250 (loved that truck). I had 2" leveling short spring pack in front and yes it did rub at full lock. It was'nt real bad but you could hear and feel the tire rub againt the leafs
