Wheel and tire help...

[lftd&pwrstrok'n]

I remember your last thread on this subject, and you definitely need a wheel with a different backspacing.

I am obviously getting senile, I don't even remember my last thread on the subject. Either that or 90 hour work week has my brain a bit mushy?

How many gas half tons have straight axles? I'll wait.

I guess I missed the part where the OP said his truck had a straight axle .

Or what kinda engine was in it

I thought all of the Ford F-250 had straight axles whether gas or diesel. Best thing to do would be to talk to your local tire shop about what you would need in my opinion. I absolutely love my Nitto trail grappler M/T tires except for the price. Got to buy a set soon. Got 55000 miles on these so far. Would probably go another 5000 or so.

Well, of course, there has to be a snag. LOL

Let's assume I need a new wheel. 2003 F250 FX4 w/ 8" lift; what would you suggest as a good combination to fill up the fender well w/o scrubbing while turning?

I can answer this. You need a 37 x 12.5 x 17. Noone makes a 38 x 12.5 x anything. If you go to a 38, the most narrow is a 13.5.

Yep, you posted before about your tires rubbing on the suspension. Check out the thread below. It's from a Powerstroke forum, and folks are posting pics of their wheel/tire combos, most with info about the backspacing, offset, and whether or not they are running spacers.

I always thought an F250 was a 3/4 ton.
Have they changed the ratings on the newer trucks?

The 250 is a 3/4 ton. Roundhouse was having trouble with the question.

Ahh... Ok.
Thought I was going to have to do some reading up on the newer trucks!

Well if you really want to get technical the new 3/4 ton trucks are wayyyyyyy past those ratings.
