05+ wheels on 03 SD question ?

I recently bought an 03 f250. It has newer 18 inch lariat or king ranch wheels with 2 inch spacers . What size tire can I run without needing spacers or do I have to have them ? Do not like running spacers at all .

You need the. Spacers because the offset of the wheel for the 05 and up trucks is different. Without them the tires and wheels will look really tucked in you need the spacers to keep your truck from looking silly but you need to confirm that they are a quality hub centric spacer. All the factory wheels are hub centric. You can either continue to run the spacers and newer wheels or get a new set of aftermarket wheels and remove the spacers as those are going to be lug centric for that you will need new lugnuts too, or find a set of 99-04 wheels. Remember all super duty duallys come form the factory with spacers in the front.
