Angry 04 Wheel Question

04 F150 and want some inexpensive aftermarket wheels. Problem is they all have the wrong backspacing. Bought a set of wheels only to find out they have 4.5" backspacing and they stick out. Anyone have an idea on where to find aftermarket wheels with the stock 6.5" backspacing?

I believe the stock backspacing is 5.5. Eagle Alloy makes a few with 5 inches of backspacing, but I think they are 9 inches wide. Someone posted that they had a set of Mickey Thompson classic's with 6 inches of backspacing, but I can't remember the size.

Mickey Thompson's 18X10 wheel has a 6" backspacing.

yes stock backspaceing is 5.5. and there are not alot out there. there is more 18 inch than 17 though. I believe the helo maxx 6 18 inch has stock 5.5 inch back spaceing but have not been able to confirm this because I can't find the specs anywhere for the helo wheels.

I have a questions for Wandell, how is your gas mileage with your 22's on your Expedition. I have an 03 with 22's and am not getting the best gas mileage and the dealer keeps saying it is because of my big @!@#$ wheels?
