Question Wheel fitment?

I have a friend with a 2002 7.3PSD F250 who is putting a leveling kit on his truck and has purchased some wheels from craigslist. They are the Diamo Karats D17s 18x10 w/ 5.03" backspace. The tires are Mickey Thompsons MTZ 33x13.5". They were on a 2008 F250.

Anyone know if he will have any fitment issues?

Thanks.

My truck has 37x13.50 mickey mtz's with a 4.50" backspace wheel. The tire maybe has a quarter of an inch of rubbing the spring. So he should be fine. I have a 9" lift on my truck thats why I can stuff the 37s but a leveling kit should allow him with 33s.

He may have rubbing issues at full lock due to the width, '05 and newer trucks used coil springs instead of leaf springs. OEM wheels on my '03 are 16X7, 4.5" backspacing and -6mm offset I seem to recall. I think the '02 is the same but not 100% on that. With the wider wheels he would want more negative offset, -25 mm or maybe even more perhaps. The 33's should fit height wise without issue with the leveling kit.
