20" wheels ?
Gentlemen,
My Son is now driving my old 7.3 and he just loves the truck. He grew up in it, learned how to drive in it. Any way like most Kids his age he wants to get some 20" wheels and tires to put on. The problem we been having is finding wheels with the right offset. Can some one tell me what is the right offset for these trucks. Its a L99 f350 with a 4" lift.
I don't want to use spacers if at all possible.
Thanks
Gilbert

-12 is about perfect to clear 20x10 and not rub the front. The more you go then that you will just stick the tires out a bunch from the fender and starts to look very silly imo. I’m currently running -18 and it still looks good but liked my -12 rims I had previously, only a slight difference just depends on the look you prefer.

I just went through this with my '01 Excursion. Bought some take-off 2017 F-250 20" wheels and tires.
2001 Excursion used 7Jx16 wheels, ET6.3, 265/75-16 tires. Center bore 125mm, 8x170 bolt pattern, M14x2 studs.
2017 F-250 used 8Jx20 wheels, ET40, 275/65-20 tires. Center bore also 125mm, 8x70 bolt pattern, M14x1.5 studs
I purchased a set of 2" aluminum wheel spacers, secured to the hub using the Excursion lug nuts, and the spacer was designed with M14x1.5 studs so I used the F-250 lug nuts that came with the wheels.
I had to chamfer the corner of the fender to avoid rubbing up there, and I had to trim off a chunk of the factory mud flaps to avoid rubbing there as well.
