1st Time posting here, I have followed along on all things (tires and leveling) for about a month. I have a 2004 Fx4 Super crew. I am adding a 2.5" AS to the truck and ordering BFG Mud Terain T/A KM2 35x12.5x17. My question to all you smart people is? Can i use my OEM rims( 17") untill i figure out my new rim selection? any info would be greatley appreciated. Second I know i need to get an alignment after leveling, but do i need to do it after i put on 35"s also?? Thanks in advance

 

Yes they will fit on the stock wheels, but you may have slight rubbing on the upper control arm when making a hard turn. Nothing major. I would wait untill I put the tires on to get it aligned. Welcome to the site!

 

Paw Paw: Thanks for the reply. The info on this site is second to none..

 

Yup, it'll work, just did it yesterday! Check out gallery for pics.

 

Wow looks great!!!! are those 17" or 18" rims. thanks

 

Either way 17's or 18's the BFG's mudder's look great!

 

here is mine
2.5" w/ 35's

 

I agree with Paw Paw.

 

gr8hntr and I have the same rims, the factory 18" FX4's. Like Paw Paw said, 35" MT's, whatever brand, look great on either 17's or 18's.

 

I tried 35" on my 06' last weekend with my OEM rims, I also have the AS 2.5" level kit. There was a little more rubbing on my upper control arms than I like. I went with 285/70R/17.

I'm looking at buying some Greg Weld Fugitive wheels, 17x9, with a back space of 5. Will I be able to put 35's on without rubbing?
