need some help

I got a set of 2004 f250 wheels and tires to put on my 2003. i guess the offset is less on the 2004 [font=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif][font=verdana, geneva, lucida, 'lucida grande', arial, helvetica, sans-serif]wheels[/font][/font], so the will not fit? is the only solution to get spacers?

Are they hitting the caliper or something. I cant recall the slight difference in backspacing being an issue. If you install spacers you may find another problem. Those are hub-centric wheels, and the spacer would greatly decrease the weight capacity.
