Question on Rims..

Folks I was told by the ATV truck shop(local dealer) that I couldn't fit a 10" Rim under my Ford 250 Super Duty. I just can't seem to understand this. Could they be wrong. A young kid who worked there told me this. Once the rims go on, how can they rub on the leaf spring as he said? I can understand how they will rub on the bumper (plastic) but why to the leaf springs?

1) Does anyonr here put on 16x10 rims on their superduty? Having problems? By the way how does it look with that 2" sticking out?

By the way I have 33" tires.

Any help would be great!

Question on Rims..

I'm pretty sure it all depends on Backspacing. If you have a big backspacing then you might run into troubles but if not then they should work fine. I would say the kid doesn't know what hes talking about, but I have been wrong before so I wouldn't write thsi in stone.

I agree, with the correct backspacing I would think they would clear no problem.
