Got a set of 24's for free, will they fit?

Yes, thats right...I recently aquired a set of 4-24"x10" Demoda Authority rims and tires for absolutely free of charge. Two of the tires are about 65%, the other two are shot. Since they were free, I couldnt say no, even without knowing if they would fit. I know that they will bolt up, I measured the bolt pattern and its spot on. Its the size that im deeply concerned about. The current tires are BFG G-Force's...305/35/24. The physical size measures 11.5" wide x 32.25" tall. I do not know what the offset of the rims are as im not sure how to measure that. If someone can tell me how id be glad to do it and post up.

Just thought id take a shot in the dark and see if someone may have a way to figure it out short of me actually bolting them all up and trying it out. My truck is stock..i.e no leveling kit or anything of the sort. Im not very concerned about rubbing issues at full lock, just dont want to turn the wheel halfway and already be rubbing.

Thanks for the help guys!

take some pics and put them on here. I really don't think they will fit without a leveling kit or lift.

i would just bolt up the front 2 and see how it works. just have someone turn the wheels in your drive way from lock to lock and see if anything rubs

No problem. I use photobucket, but you can use this site also.
If you right-click on the picture, and select properties, you can get the address of the picture.
The address for your picture is: https://www.f150online.com/forums/me...1211082014.jpg
Once you have that, all you have to do is put image tags around it. [IMG]INSERT IMAGE ADDRESS HERE[/IMG]

I was thinking that may be the easiest way to see, but thought id ask around here first to see if someone may have a wheel/tire combo close to that size running stock ride height with any rubbing issues.

If it does turn out I need a leveling/lift kit in the front, what is the cheapest route I can go? My truck is a pavement princess so off-road capabilities are of no concern, just something that gets my front end up high enough to clear the tires...

if your 4x4, i highly doubt you will need one
if your 2x4, you might

2" Autospring. there $70 shipped on ebay. install is easy. you will need an alignment

Oh, cool! I am 4x4 and thanks for the tip on autospring, ill keep them in mind if I need them. I found this older thread...truck is running same size tire/rim combo, is 2x4 and has a 2 in drop in the front...http://https://www.f150online.com/fo...ereo-more.html

I didnt know if it made a diff in having more room up front if you were 2x4?

I agree. Remember, we are talking about a set of 24's. You should never even let the thought of lifting your truck to fit them cross your mind (unless you are gonna mount some 40 inch tires on them). I'd install a set of lowering shackles to drop the rear.
Measure the backspacing and see what it is. You want close to 7 inches. My 22x9.5's have 6.7 inches of bs. Just lay a flat edge across the back of the wheel (not on the tire) and measure the distance to the mounting surface of the wheel (where it bolts to the hub).

I should rephrase that! he needs a 6x135 and atleast a 30+ it should be engraved on the inside of the wheel
