duckman89 ... if you tighten them the proper way they wheel center up. Just like the wheels on a truck
"tighten them the proper way" or not the F-150s are engineered and built to center the wheels via the hub (ergo hub centric). This is especially important for a 3 ton +- vehicle.

Forsaking this, you run the HIGH risk of wheel vibration. *NOT a good thing on a 3 ton +- vehicle careening-down the boulevard at (say) 70MPH.



The bitterness of poor quality lingers long after the sweetness of low co$t is forgotten.

You're very welcome; the 35s on stock wheels are going to look fantastic.

Just remember to recheck the lugs periodically like you would with any aftermarket wheels.

The key to wheel spacers. Put red LocTite on the studs and torque the nuts. I torque them to about 5 ft/lbs more than the factory wheel specs. Then torque the wheels to factory specs. This will allow you to check the torque (factory specs) of the spacers without breaking the LocTite.
