Tires and Wheels
Hey all, Upgraded to a 2020 F350 CC LWB 6.2 and am looking to upgrade my wheels and tires. Thinking of going Rickson steel but I'm reading the backlog is months out. Any experiences out there to...

Well,
Given that the 19.5's aren't going to work on the beach, I cancelled the order and I'm back to the drawing board.
I wanted to go that route for some extra safety but the #4080 option does still give me at least #500 headroom when fully loaded.
I definitely want to upgrade the wheels from the OEM. I've looked at the Methods and the American Force.
Near as I can tell the stock rims are 8"x18" with an offset of +40mm (taken from wheel-size.com) for my LT275/70R18 OEMs.
The Method MR305 NV HD are and 18"x9" with an +18mm offset with 5.7" spacing.
From what I've gathered in research:
An 9" rim with +18 offset means the mounting surface of the rim is about .7" into the front half of the wheel. That means back spacing would be 4.5 + .7 = 5.2". That's a .5" off from the spec.
Any flaws in my logic so far?
I can't find the spacing value for the current OEM rims so I don't know how to reason about the 5.75" spacing on the Methods but I'll try my math again.
I'm guessing at the OEM back spacing to be:
An 8" rim with +40 offset means the mounting surface of the rim is about 1.6" into the front half of the wheel. So the backspacing would be 4 + 1.6 = 5.6".
It seems like these rims would work and not cause an spacing issues in the wheel well.
Thanks again for all of the help.
