how much interference with the caliper bracket.. Can you grind down in one area that don't make much difference in strength and get the clearance you need ? ................... I thought you said the 2008 wheels were FORD, not aftermarket... they should have the SAME backspace if they were FORD.

The wheels I’m trying to use are ford oem from a 2008 f150. The ones I’m replacing are aftermarket - and they stick out way too far for my taste.

OK.......... still don't understand why the 2008 FORD wheels don't fit the 2009 truck.... Clean the center hole with sandpaper, flapper, or wire brush and then install and check clearance......maybe a small amount of grinding on the bracket ??

Well I cleaned out the center bores, and took off the caliper bracket to grind it - did the trick. Not sure why I had to do that but it worked. Thanks guys!
