17x10 Inch wheels?

Post by FormerMarine1981 »

I have a chance to buy 4 new (used) rims for my F250 2wd. They are Chromed Steel 17in by 10 inch wheel. Is anyone running this size on their rigs? I have no lift or anything on the truck, the suspension is stock. I am a little worried about them being too wide for the front. Thanks, Ben :help:

from what I have seen, it depends on the shape of the rim. I have seen some 15x8's that rub the brake calipers, then a set of 16x10's clear everything.
