2008 F250 18" rims and tires on an X...?

Ok, found a set of nice take offs from an F250 2008, will they fit a 2002 X? Seems there may be some offset issue? If there is can I use a spacer to resolve the issue?

Yes, You can get spacers but make sure you do not go cheap with them. Spend the extra for quality.

Please don't use spacers, they are for hacks and cheap azz's. Why risk your life with a spacer in the first place. The wheels will fit but will rub the leaf spring because they set in farther.

To adapt the late model SuperDuty rims to our earlier trucks you will need 2" HUBCENTRIC spacers from Fred at WheelAdapter.com is your number one source for wheel adapters, wheel spacers, used wheels, and wheel studs. They will cost about $600. There are tons of cheaper spacers out there but you get what you pay for and the cost of failure is pretty high when talking about wheel spacers. Another option is to look (good luck, they are kinda rare) for the '04 Lariat, H-D or KR 18" rims like a few of us have gone to. They are the only plus sized rims from Ford that don't require the $pacer$ to properly fit our earlier front leaf sprung trucks.

Spacers are great... for ricers (used to be in that club sadly) and frisbees.
