Have A Problem!!!!!
I Have A 2001 F250 And I Recently Bought A Set Of Brand New Rims And Tires From The Ford Dealership. I Went From 16" Rims To A Set Of 20" Rims, I Have No Idea What Size Tires Were On Both But I Do Know That They Are Stock/factory Size. The Problem I Have Is The New Rims/tires Rub On The Front Leaf Springs When The Steering Wheel Is Close To All The Way Turned Left And Right.
What Should I Do?
If You Were Wondering On How Much I Payed For Them And What Year Truck On Got Them Off Of...here You Go.
I Paided $500.00 For The Rims/tires , Mount , Balance , And Speedo Caliberation.
They Came Off A 2007-2008 F-250,350
It Makes The Truck Look Alot Better Than Those Steel Wheels With The Permant Hub Cab Fixed To The Rim.
I Had An Inside Guy , He Is The Head Of The Accessary Department At Ford And Is In Charge Of Lifting The Brand New Trucks That Come In. They Just Charge The Fees For A Mechanic To Take The Stock Stuff Off And Alittle Extra.
Sorry To Get Of Topic, What Should I Do?

with an 01, that means they used spacers to adapt those rims to your truck. Luckily, you got them cheap. I would never trust a truck like ours on spacers.
You didn't mention if your truck was a 4x4, but either way, it needs a lift to accommodate the 20".

The Dealership just wanted your money, they know better. The offset on the 05-08 rims is much different than the offset required for 99-04. Have you noticed how your old rims were like a bowl(deeply cupped from the bead to the lugs) and your new rims are like a plate(shallow cup from bead to lugs)
I would take them back and get a nice set of rims that fit correctly.
