20 inch factory wheel question?

[03DANNY]

I am buying an 01 f-250 crew cab diesel. I am also buying the factory 20" wheels and tires off an 05 f-250. What kind of spacers will I have to buy for these wheels to fit. Has anyone installed this year model wheels on an 01? Is the bolt pattern the same? How thick must the spacer be? If anyone has done this where can I buy the spacers and how much do they run? Any info would be greatly appreciated. I am picking up my truck Sunday and having the wheels shipped Monday so let me know asap if they will fit. Thanks in advance.

They should just bolt right on!

That's what I thought but some people have told me that the backspacing changed
in 05 on and that the wheels will rub unless they have spacers just wanted varify that.

The best thing i could say is go over to FordTruckWorld.com. There are ALOT of SD guys other there.

Post pics here when you get them. I like to 5 spoke 20s. When I get a Duty I'm going to order the new 10 spoke 20s.

I think the backspacing did change on the 05 and up trucks. There is less clearance on the 05+ trucks, from what I have heard. If I were you I would go over to powerstrokenation.com. Everyone over there is great and has oddles of knowledge about anything Super Duty. If I am not mistaken, there is a guy or two over there with the new style rims on their trucks as well.

the 05 wheels will rub your brake line, a guy on fordtruckworld.com had his wear through cuz of the rubbing

I picked up the wheels yesterday 06 Lariat same as king ranch with a different center cap. I will be ordering 2" spacers tommorow so that I will not have any clearance issues with it. The spacers will be hubcentric and bolt on the my truck then the wheels will bolt to the spacers. Seems like a lot of legwork but I really love the factory 5 spoke 20"
wheel look on these trucks. I will post pics once it is done.

Here is a picture of the truck in it's curren status. Already installed the wheels, 05 front end, front lift, interior, list goes on. Waiting on more parts to lift the back then it goes to the paint shop for an overall paint job ( white ) agains with FX4 decals.

Looks great, I am also following your build over at PSN! Keep it up, I love the dual tip by the way, unique look.

the 05 wheels DO have a different offset, the 05 wheels will rub the brake lines and leafs at full lock, i believe there is about a 1" difference in the offsets, the problem with wheel spacers is they will end up putting additional stress on front end components.
