    I have been running BF Goodrich 285/75/16 for a long time on my 1987 f250 xlt Lariat on stock rims with rub on the inside at full crank on the wheel. Just bought a new set of the ko2s and the AR23 8” wheels.

    what size spacer should I get? I can’t imagine what the truck will look like with the many sizes available. Would 1 1/2” be ok? I don’t want to drastically change the appearance but a more aggressive stance would be nice. Thanks!

    What's the offset difference between stock and the AR23 wheels? Is this a 4x4 suspension?

    Thanks for the reply : I think they are both 0 offset. It is a 4x4. I wonder if I could mount the wheels with tires then measure?

    I spent 2 hours online looking for hub centric spacers - found one place that will make them for $800. I was hoping I could find some for half that, but want quality. Truck is a tow vehicle with a fuel injected 525ci.

    I've seen people before who say the same size tire doesn't scrub without spacers, so I wonder if there's any spring sag over the years, or from the heavier 460 block?

    Truck came stock with the 460 - put 27k into the truck 2 years ago. Not a Spring problem; wide tire problem have always rubbed. 8” wheels might rubb more. I’m going to go with the fabricator’s recommendation. Thanks!
