In that little picture that truck looks like it got a 6-8” lift and aftermarket wheels on it. 99.9% of aftermarket wheels are lug centric including the ones for super duty trucks not hub centric so putting lug centric wheels on hub centric spacers is going to cause a problem. You need the right stuff to even consider doing this which includes the right lug nuts for both the spacer and the wheel it’s self and the proper spacer it’s doable but I wouldn’t necessarily recommend it. If your tires don’t rub now there’s a decent chance they will after you add spacers if they do rub they will rub somewhere else if you add them. That being said all dually trucks come from the factory with wheel spacers in the front so it’s not the end of the world like some people think when it comes to spacers but it has to be done right with the right stuff.
