HELP

I have a 2001 f350 and I have take off wheels from a 2005 but it hits the tie rod when I put on the wheel. Will a 2 inch spacer fix this, and will I still be able to fit my 305/70/17 it has a leveling kit on. If they do fit with the spacer which one are the best to buy

I have never done this and don't recommend it but if you do, be sure to get hub-centric spacers and not just lug-centric. The hub-centric spacers are machined to fit snugly around the hub like the factory wheels and not just rely on the lug nuts/studs to hold all the weight.
Some have never had a problem with spacers but it's just not worth the risk in my opinion. That and a dollar will get you a small coffee.

Good luck!
