[QUOTE="BAJASVT, post: 609398, member: 7663"] Thanks, Ramrod. I've heard enough... I'm ordering these. Are you running the OEM wheels in stock configuration with the beauty ring or do you have the Ford Racing beadlock ring installed? This is an 8.5" wide wheel, but I feel a 9" width would more accurately describe the width when the Ford Racing beadlock is installed due to the tires outer bead technically being mounted outside the factory seat. I know a few members here have installed the Ford Racing beadlock ring on the OEM beautylock wheels; I'd be curious to know if anyone took a tire height measurment comparison between OEM beautylock and Ford Racing beadlock. Other members are measuring an actual ~36.3" diameter on these tires... I'm guessing the Ford Racing beadlock would fatten the tire slightly, but pull that ~36.3" down to about ~36.0", which is fine with me (less chance of rubbing). Also, have you shopped around for spacers? What have you found? There's another thread floating around where someone found some hubcentric 6x135 spacers, but they're 1.5" thick. If you only run 1" spacers, I'm pretty sure you'll need to grind down your OEM wheel studs or replace them with shorter studs or they'll protrude through the 1" spacer to the mounting face for the wheel hub. Please keep us updated. [/QUOTE]
