Whats up everybody, I 'm new to the forum and just had a quick question. I have a 2000 F350 2wd and I have a set of (6) - 24" semi wheels and adaptors, can I install these myself? Seems pretty straight forward and I do a lot of mechanic work but just looking at it, it sure as hell looks like the inside rear wheels will rub against the frame? I guess the only way to tell is to try it out. Also should I install on my own and then take them to semi truck shop to get them balanced while they are on the truck (like they do semi's) or can i just take the wheels with the tires mounted by themselves and have them balanced like normal tires? Sorry for all the questions, I have done some searching on site but haven't really seen these answers. Thanks

I did a little better searching and found some good info. I think I have it figured out.

If you have a local shop that can balance the wheels on the truck that would be the best option. Installing them is straight forward just like any other set of wheels. Sometimes on the rear it is easier to install the adapter on the inner wheels first and then put it on the truck.

Thanks for the heads up. I had planned to just take them to the Wingfoot tire shop at the truck stop, I'm assuming since all they work on is semi wheels and tires they would be able to balance them?
