Need rim and tire help

[08tolleya]

I have an 08 f250 xlt with the stock 265 70 17's with the 8 on 170 pattern on it now.. I am looking to get new rims and tires.. Are the stock wheels hub or lug centric..and does it matter that I have ESOF with the manual override locking hubs on the front wheels. I guess my question is do i need to get "special" rims? Also what is the alittle bit bigger tire on can fit on the stock rims.

no you dont need special rims. just rims with the correct back spacing.

how do I find out the correct back spacing of the current and would it be the same

I know that you near stock back spacing to run larger tires. Without taking off the wheel and measuring the offset i really can't tell ya how.
