King Ranch wheels?
i have been eyeing king ranch wheels for my truck for some time now. i wanted to know if anyone out there has put these wheels on their truck? how do they look/fit? i know they are 18'' and i wanted to know if they rub on the front leafs with 35s mounted on them? any input will help.

Tried to do this today- big problems. Back spacing changed in 05, so if the wheels are before 05 they'll work, if not, the wheels are front wheel drive backspacing, so they set way in on the truck. Then tried to put on 06 polished 17" and same problem, but the front rubs on the tie rod nuckle. So, the whole day was wasted trying to track down wheels that would not fit. The backspacing on 05 & newer is 6 3/4 inches & the backspacing on 99-04 is 5 1/2 inches.

they changed the front end in 05 to turn sharper (a whole lot sharper) my mom just got one, but they widened both axles, so if you have the chance to come across a wrecked one, it would be a great upgrade for a 7.3.
