I CANT SEEM TO GET A STRAIGHT ANSWER ABOUT PUTTING 16x10 RIMS ON A 4.5" FABTECH LIFTED F150 2x4

1. DO THE RIMS FIT.
2. DO THEY RUB
3. CAN YOU ALIGN
4. IF SO THEY GOT TO LOOK GOOD.

I AM LOOKING AT THE 16x10 4.5" BACKSPACE EAGLE 589 RIMS WITH THE 33" XTERAIN TIRES.

 

I am not sure about this, but I read somewhere that Fabtech's spindles increase you track width over stock by two inches. If they do make you front track wider, this could cause problems with rubbing with 16x10s. I know for a fact that I have seen pictures of several lifted 4x2s with 16x8s and the rims were about even with the edge of the front fenders, just like my 16x10s on my 4x4. I think this is why people are telling you to use 16x8s. I don't think it has anything to do with the backspacing of the 16x10s, because most aftermarket rims for F-150s have around 4.5 inches of backspacing whether they are 7, 8 or 10 inches wide. I suggest you contact Fabtech and ask them if the spindles widen the front track width.

 

I DID ASK FABTECH AND THEY JUST SAY THEY DONT FIT, WITH NO EXPLIATION AND WONT GIVE ME ONE WHEN I ASK FOR IT.
I THINK SOMEONE JUST SAID NO AND THATS THE END OF THE DISCUSION MY TIRES DONT STICK OUT ANY FURTHER WITH FAB SPINDLES OR STOCK AT LEAST NOT MUCH AND MY STOCK RIMS ARE 16 x 7.5 . THEY LOOK ABOUT THE SAME.
I WISH 4 WHEEL PARTS WOULD LET ME TRY ONE TO SEE

BUT THEY SAY YOU BOUGHT IT AND THATS THAT TOO.
