I'm thinking about going with 20s and those tires mentioned, I have a front shackle leveling kit on a 2000 f350. Has anyone ran these tires with this combo? Well they fit? The rims are 20x9 with 0 offset. If they won't, and I need more lift, how can I lift the front more without changeing the shackles again? I know just swap out the rear block for a bigger one, but not sure on the front.

they will rub the springs on the front and you will have to pull the inner fenders back a little.

If it rubs the leaf springs, would it be ok to use wheel spacers to prevent that? I've never used them before. What ones are the best?

there are a lot of mixed opinions on wheel spacers. lugcentric vs hubcentric etc. that will fix the spring rubbing issue but make the inner fender rub worse. (not a big deal because they can be trimmed)

i have a set of wheel spacers coming to me so i will soon have an educated opinion om them!

if you get something with a more negative offset that'll help you. I wouldn't do spacers... I'd just rub the leafs

Why do you say that Eric? Are they not reliable or something?

someguys dont have problems. some do. i just feel like its not that big a deal rubbing the leafs and knowing youre 100% okay. my 6.0 had a add-a-leaf, -12mm offset wheels, 35/12.50s, and it rubbed the leafs some, but doesnt cause any issues

Wheels spacers also throw off the geometry of everything. So it would probably end up hitting in the fender or bumper.

20x10s would solve my problem with the leafs. Does anyone know where a set of 20x10 novakaines or rehabs are? Death metal for both. I can get 9s in the rehabs.
