Is there a way to make these wheels fit
Is there a way to make these wheels fit
Here are the rims that I would love to get for my 2006 2wd STX
It is a manual 6 cyl if that makes a difference
http://www.fordracingparts.com/parts...tKeyField=8870
Summary:
20 x 10
backspacing: 7.125
It says they will only fit 4 wheel drive '04-'06 F-150's
I am assuming that they won't fit 2wd since the backspacing is so huge (7.125).
But, can I use spacers, level kit, anything so that I can get these rims to work???

the arm on the spindle where the tie rod bolts up might cause a problem, but the upper and lower a-arms are the same on 2wd and 4wd. Good luck finding them, the only place I could find was http://www.summitracing.com/ for $340 each
I don't know. The 22x9.5 Eagles on my Expy (same wheel used on F-150) have 6.7 inches of backspacing. My tire (305/45-22) is very close to my upper ball joint. In fact, when my wife recently had an accident (hit a deer) I could see a scrub mark where the tire hit the upper ball joint. My guess is that on 4x2's the tire would touch the upper ball joint.

edit: I found what you are talking about...
+44 offset. I am not sure if that is a typo because I thought they only came in one size???? Don't know though
The ones on ford racing would be +54 offset if my math is correct
