Awesome thanks for all the help guys

The wheels I might be lookin at say they have a 4.5 backspacing I'm not sure what that means but would it work?

 

[mallardslayer07]

What about 20"x12" BMF Novakanes and then something like a 36"x13"wide20 or 36"x14"wide20 on my truck?


I think that would look good. Im closing in on needing tires again and am so ready to get rid of the terra grapplers...setup now is 18x10 Diamo Karat (dont know the offset not sure) and LT325x65.

All opinions welcome. Thanks in advance.

Im thinking if i dont get new wheels i will just go with the Toyo OC M/T 315x70R18's (says that tire is like a 36"x13"R18). Because aparently Toyo doesnt build a 325....in The M/T

they don't make BMFs in anything wider than 10"

Ok my other option would be 20x12 Fuel Octane

 

[mallardslayer07]

Whats your opinion? What should i do?

 

[powerstrokin15]

they would great IMO. I'm direct with fuel if you'd like pricing. I think 12 wide is a must

Hey there guys..thanks for all the info.

DOes anyone know the back spacing on a 2012 18" wheel on a F250 lariat?

I am in chaos on backspacing, offset and rubbing or not rubbing.

I'd like to stay as close to stock as possible interns of how far out the tire protrudes from the wheel well.

I have a ready lift stage 3 TP with 2.5 up front. BF good rich 285/65/r20 and no wheels.

I own Gear overdrives with +18 offset but have been told ill rub on the radius arm.

Any info on the factory backspacing and what offset for close to stock position with no rubbing is greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance

Marc

Ok quick ? for y'all. I just got my 35x12.50 Toyo M/T and my 2011 KR 20s. I want to do a 2.5" level in the front. It's the rear I'm having problem with. I have a 06 250 w/ the factory helper spring. I've seen kits that specify wether or not they are for helper spring trucks or not. Then I see there are some kits that don't specify. I'd heard of a lot of people running a F350 block in place of the 250 block.

If I done the F350 block would that make the back of mine slightly higher than the front? I want to bring the truck up but would like the bed up higher for when I have a load behind it.

 

[SAK]

The reason they ask if it has the helper spring is a know how long the u-bolts need to be. If you are doing a 2.5" kit I would do a 4" block in the rear. It will sit a 1/4" higher than the 350 block will.

 

[b2™]

Cool, appreciate that. What about the track bar bracket. Is it needed w/ a 2.5" level? I see Readylift sells one but didn't know if I need it or not.

 

[smokedout250]

So a 4" block is what would work in the rear of a 250 with a 2.5" leveling kit?

Picked up these 16.5x14 weld typhoons for a steal last week as well as the tires. Just something a little different to change it up and of course I'm keeping the Bmfs as well.

 

[B.Warning]

Holy stretch Batman. I'm digging the look but would look even better with a m/t on there

 

[Daryl@TDP]

Thanks man. You are right but hard finding a 33x12.50 mt for a 16.5.

A few Buddys.
Reg cab has 17x14 weld outbacks 33x13.00 m16

CC has 16.5x14 weld stonecrushers and 33x14.00 boggers

 

[Jeff@Spartan]

Did you lower the truck down Daryl? It looks good!
