what wheel works???

[2003_6.0]

i have a 2003 6.0 f-250 and put a set of 06 factory 5 spoke 20'' on it with stock tires but the offset is way off.. the rub the leafs when you cut hard and it look like the truck is deformed with the wheels tucked in.. what offset and backspacing works best on this model??? thanks for any help

Not sure about offset or backspacing, but before my Rockstar days I wanted to do the 18" 8-hole wheel from the 05-07 model year.
Turns out I needed 2" spacers for that (so do you unfortunately), and it wasn't very cost effective anymore..

yeah im trying to stay away from the spacers.. ill prob just get rid of the factory 20's and get a set of aftermarket wheels but just dont want to get the wrong thing

the 05 and up trucks run 6" back spacing and the 99-04 truck run 4.5" back spacing. Add spacers or go to a wheel that has 4.5" of back spacing and you will be fine.

would a -12 offset work?

If its s 9" wide wheel then yes if it's a 10" wide wheel you need a -25 off set

You need 2" steel spacers if you want to run those wheels without trimming studs. Let me know if you get aftermarket wheels and want to sell the factory 5-spokes! I have been looking for some.
