17x7.5 OEM Wheel Question
I have a wheel/tire question for the '04-'08 guys on here. My '08 XLT came with the 17x7.5 chrome wheels (5.5" backspacing I believe, dunno about offset), and I'm planning on swapping them out for 18x9 (5.98" backspacing, 25mm offset) wheels next week.
I've been told by a wheel/tire shop before, and seen it in a few other forums that I can't do much for aftermarket wheels because there's only like 1/4" of space between the brake calipers and wheel setup for the 17x7.5 OEM.
Anyone else on here upgrade from a 17x7.5 OEM to something bigger? And if it is a problem, would I just need some spacers when I get the new wheels?
