Default Wheel options for 2012 with manual hubs

My 2012 f250 is 4x4 with the manual hubs. Looking into getting aftermarket wheels. No lift on truck. What tire, wheel, offset, backspace did you guys go with? Pics would be great too. Thanks

Your hubs should be autolockers. Wheel choice all depends on what size tires you plan to run and how much you want the wheels to tuck or poke.

This thread should answer your questions.

Brian, they still offer manual hubs with the free/locked positions, I just bought a 2016 with the manual hubs, as for the wheels, look for what you like, I don't think most suppliers will offer a cap with an opening for manual hubs, last time I bought wheels, I had to search for center caps from other manufacturers that would fit my wheels, sorry it's not much help.

If you look at your hubs, there should be two positions. One for Auto and one for Lock, that is how my 16 is.

You aren't going to find many wheels with centercaps that accomodate the hubs. Most guys just leave them in the auto position and cover them up with the center caps. You could always just not use the center caps that come with the wheels.

No auto manual hubs and shifter on the floor for the 4x4. There has to be wheel options out there. Looking for info on the offset/backspacing without lifting the truck.

What he said. Mine has auto hubs but you can get with standard locking hubs. In winter of I know I'll be going in and out because side roads are **** I'll put them in lock position cause I hate the clunk with auto locking while driving.
