wheels
OK guy 81 ford f-150 I have a buddy that fot a set of wheeles for sale with 33x12.5 rubber on them the wheeles fit but the hub on the wheele is bigger than the hub on the truck. MY question is do the hubs have to be touching or doesnt it atter bolt pattern the same and they bolt up that is the only problem the hub for the wheele and truck dont touch, let me know please thanx

You shouldn't have any trouble, it's the lug nuts that hold the wheel on. My 86 F250 has a recessed hub so the wheel center doesn't contact the hub. PS: don't forget to join the PA Chapter. Uncle Stosh has a lot of info.

Welcome to the site.
As GLR has already pointed out, our trucks are lug centric and the tapered seats on the lug nuts are used to center the wheel.
Late model cars and trucks are hub centric, which IMO is a better setup.
