Talking 17" rims??

What factory 17 inch rim will fit on my 2002 f250 superduty 4x4 as I have some almost new 17" tires that I got from some one I know and would like to use the tires some day on my superduty or if there are any aftermarket wheels for a decent price? Thanks

IIRC. Any 17" wheel from '05 to present will fit, but you will need to use the center caps from a 99-04 SD.

Adam, Farmb0y, has some 05 Lariat wheels on his '99.

Not sure if he had to modify them or not.

Discount tire.com has some good deals on wheels if you buy online.

I purchased some Liquid Metal Gatlins this past spring. Nice wheels, I like them a lot.

Mine are actually 18s. The 05+ wheels will bolt up, but you will have to run spacers so they won't rub.

They're 20" '06 wheels, thank you very much!!

You will need 2" spacers to make them work, otherwise they'll rub your leaf springs. I tried them without the spacers; it made it look like a railroad truck.
I think the offset difference between the two wheels is right at 1.75", so with the 2" spacers they sit a bit wider, but it sure looks good.

I got my spacers from: WheelAdapter.com is your number one source for wheel adapters, wheel spacers, used wheels, and wheel studs.
I'm very happy with them, but you'll have to add them to the price of the wheels. I got mine cheap enough that it all equaled out for me.

Oops. See what happens when I think? I knew they were larger than 17 but I also knew they were the wheels with a different offset pattern that aren't "supposed" to fit our trucks.

Sorry the truck is dirty, but it serves as a work truck for me. I took them just before it got hooked up to the flatbed to haul a skidloader around.

Those look good. How many miles have you put on them? Any issue towing or anything? Do you have to get spacers for the back wheels as well?
