8-lug wheel offsets?

Post by occupant »

I've been trying to find offsets for the various 8-lug wheels offered on Fords. I like the latest model chrome wheels on the Super Dutys, I think they have either 8 or 10 holes, and a big center cap, but it looks like the wheels aren't very deep and might hit suspension parts.

Any ideas? Or would Eagle 589's be a better choice since they are made with varying offsets?

i believe 2006 t0 2008 they are 18 inch wheels which provide enought clearance to sit into the wheel well farther!!!!

Yes, '96 wheels will fit. Eagle 589's are 058's now. They went to a new number system a couple years ago. I bought new 16X8 058's a couple months ago for $90 a piece on special from a local tire place. They had an overstock. They still have a bunch of 5 on 5.5 15" 058's for $60 a piece.
