Wheels for the F250?

I just bought a set of 265/75-16 E-Rated, Bridgstone Duelers for the truck.. The more I look at it..I would like to ditch the hubcaps.



I was thinking about these..



Mickey Thompson Classic II 16x8 8-6.5 Bolt pattern 4" BS

16x8
8x6.5
4"BS

Whats the backspace on my stocker wheels? Anyone runnin them? I'm also worried if it will fit over the hub in the rear?

Thanks...

BFG and Bridgstone are 2 different tires, you have very good tires on that ford now!
BFG Duelers
I hear ya on gettin rid of the stock ford plastic covers, however you may have a problem if you do have a f-250 HD with the full float in the rear. I have heard alot about grinding the rim down to fit over fords rear axil. My f-250 does not have the full floating axil so i didnt have to worry. So good luck either way you got some sweet tires and the truck looks good too!

Doh!.... I meant Bridgstones.. I just bought the BFG's last week for the Focus..Here are some pics of the rear.. I'm not familiar with the F250 axles.
