Returning New Guy

Just bought a 2003 6.0 PSD ten years after selling my '95. So back in the saddle again.

I'll post some Q's on mods, front end rebuilds, gauges, and all that 6.0 stuff soon enough. Just getting back up to speed now, but any stickys you want to send me, go for it!

2003 Ford F250 CC 6.0

These wheels will have to go eventually. I think maybe they are from an '08?

The 05+ SD wheels will only fit a 1999-2004:SD if spacers are used. Otherwise the offset pulls the wheels way under the truck and too close to the leaf springs.

Good to know. Ive been trying to find the correct offset online but seems like a huge variation. Can you tell me the correct dimensions for the 2003?

Trying to stick with 18" wheels.

If you can find 2004 18" Harley wheels, they have the correct backspacing for leaf sprung trucks.

Congrats on the new truck. I had a 7.3 for 12 years and love the sound of a diesel, nothing sounds better then a good running 6.0 IMHO. I am pretty sure those are 17 and up wheels.
