Awesome info!!!! Thanks that makes sense and now appears to line up with the new info I have been given from the wheels guy.

After talking to the wheel place guy, this is what he says will work on my truck............18x10 5x139.7(5x5.5") -19mm offset

Agree??

It's a lot better, making the change (in the calculator) to a 10 inch rim with a -18 offset shows ~4.25" for backspacing, only a half inch closer than stock. The tire will only stick out .75" further than that so hopefully it works out with any problems. It seems to get harder to find a decent negative offset with anything other than 15" rims, I just ordered some 17x9 -6 myself (fingerse crossed they work with the aftermarket suspension i've ordered).

One other thing to check before you pull the trigger on them, is center bore size. Hopefully someone will correct me if I'm wrong, but I belive you need a center bore larger than ~87mm. All the aftermarket wheels I've looked at have been way over that (so as to fit as many vehicles as possible), so hopefully it's not an issue.

slowjoe24

okay......I assume that's due to the 4x4 hubs?

SaltEater

Sure if you want. Practically all wheels will have some kind of center bore. Like I said though, every aftermarket wheel i've looked at has been way oversized.

Afaik some jeep and dodge wheels may come with a different hub bore size, so even though they're the same bolt pattern they might not fit a ford hub.

Finally got my wheels and tires installed

18x9 WORX wheels on 285/65/18's
Also installed a set of Rough Country 1.5" leveling springs on front.

Looks pretty good!

How you liking the new shoes? Ride quality, noise, etc.?

Notice much loss in accel compared to the old tires?

slowjoe24
