i've got a few questions abotu wheels i'm hoping ya'll can help me out with.

how wide are stock wheels?

what offset to i need to get in after market wheels to put them out wide.

i have 315/70/17 MTZ's and i want them to be wide. what width aftermarked wheel should i get?

 

The oem wheels are 7.5 inches wide with 5.5 inches of bs.
Do you have a 4x4 or 4x2? How much lift do you have? These will determine what width and backspacing you need to fit 35's.

 

i have a 2004 4x4. i only have a 2.5" leveling kit with a 3" body lift but i want my tires to be out there. one day i hope to get a 6" lift along with my body but that wont be for a LONG time.

 

I'd suggest a 9 inch wide wheel with 5 inches of backspacing. This is a common aftermarket wheel spec for the 04-08's and means the wheel will stick out 2 inches farther than the OEM 17 and 18 inch wheels.

 

the 2 wheels that i was looking at were ether the procomp 1079 and it says it is a 9 inch wheel with 4.75" back spacing or the motometal 951 and it says it has 4.53" of backspacing

 

i'm also looking at the Halo HE821 Wheel and it says that it has 6.07" backspacing and it says that its a 10 inch wheel. what would be the differences between the 9" and 10" wheel with my tires?

 

A 10 inch wide wheel with 6 inches of bs will stick out 2 inches farther than the oem wheels.
A 9 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of bs will stick out 2.5 inches farther than the oem wheels.
A 9 inch wide wheel with 4.75 inches of bs will stick out 2.25 inches farther than the oem wheels.
Any of those wheels will fit with the 315/70-17's since you have a leveling kit and a body lift.

 

Well if i can use your skills real quick haha I have a 2002 2x4 that i want my offset to be close to the fender or maybe just a lil bit out any sugestions plz?

 

Your oem 2002 wheels are either 16x7 or 17x7.5 inches with 4.5 inches of bs. Most off road style aftermarket wheels for the 97-03's have eith 4.5 or 5 inches of bs. I have 16x10's with 4.5 inches of bs and the edge of the tire/wheel is just about even with the edge of my fenders.

 

Wandell what is the width and offset of the OEM 20s?

 

I'm not positive, but I beleive they are 8.5 inches wide with 6.5 inches of backspacing.

 

this might give ya an idea on how wide your talkin. mine are 18x10 with 4.5'' backspacing. they stick out a good bit. the tires are 325 60 18 baja claws

 

Wandell, I just installed some jesse james black widows with a 13.73mm backspacing and 33x12.50 toyo mt's. I want the wheels to stick out a little wider to give me a more wider stance and aggrestive appearance. I'm thinking of running some 1 inch spacers,"i know it's hard on ball joints" but could you tell me were to buy the cheapest set and your opinions on prior experience with running spacers? Thanks in advance, pm me if you need to.

 

Most people agree wheel spacers are a bad idea. Especially on 04-08 F-150's which seem to be very sensitive to tire/wheel changes.
