Man do I feel STUPID

I bet you all know this but you can't fit 16" wheels on an 05 Superduty!!!

I finally found the rims and tires I wanted, but the only size I could find were 315/75r16's (Toyo Open Country M/T). Here's the fun part, the wheels were listed as 8 on 170mm for a F250/350 Superduty, It said they would fit from 99 and up. With the new brake caliper setup it does not fit!!!!!

So I went and found a new set of tires on ebay to fit the rims. they had wheels for a dodge on them but I figured I would just swap them out and sell the rims I didn't need. Now I got two sets of brand new rims and a set of nice tires that I can't use.

Guess I should have done some homework!

Anybody ever hear of a manufacturer that makes a 16" wheel for the new trucks???

you will never be able to get a 16'' rim on there. 17'' is the minimum.

You should always consult the team before any upgrades.

See if the first place will take the new rims & tires back. You're probably going to be stuck off-loading the Dodge rims on your own. Ebay?

I believe they went to 17" to fit over bigger brakes so 16" won't fit.

I swapped the 18" wheels for stock Ford 17" wheels. There is about 1/4-5/16" clearence between the wheel and caliper.
