Default Wheel spacers
Looking at a set of rims that are NOT hub centric for my 2013 FX4. Just want to verify that using hub spacers will not cause issues of any kind. I've always stuck with hub centric on previous vehicles so before I dive in chime in so I am confident.

Thanks!

Aren't the F150's hub centric to start? I don't think you can switch to a wheel that isn't without a good possibility of issues down the road.

Pretty sure he's trying to say the conical lug nuts are enough to center the wheel. But the hubcentric part comes into play with load transfer, don't want all the weight only going through the wheelstuds.

Yes...that's lug centric correct?

Do hub centric rings solve this problem?
