Lightbulb

Pic' indicates 20 (rim diameter) 8.50 (rim width) 44 (rim offset in mm)

So ... You've got the information you need. Time to do some math for the backspacing .....

I'd guess 44mm. Then by the time you add your adapter that will be close to 0 depending on the thickness of course. And remember now that you've gone from a 7 to 6 lug everything weight capacity wise on your truck has changed.

Those are 20x8.5 wheels with +44mm offset, 6.48 inches of backspacing, with a 6x135 bolt pattern.

Originally found on 2006-2008 F-150's - with the chrome hubcaps shown only available for 2006.

Would definitely need adapters - not sure if they make them for the 6 to 7 lug conversion.

I found 17 X 8 7 X 150 lug wheel for $125 I think this might be the safest way to do it. Now to figure out what tires.
