Four wheeler magazing just did a section in their march 2004 issue about new lifts for the F150 with the size tires that will fit with what backspacing. If you cant find it I will be happy to fax you the pages if you give me your fax number. I could not find the link on their website.

 

I just checked four wheeler's web site but they do not give a link to march issue and although i am thankful to you for your kindness i can not ask more you to fax me cause i live overseas(Turkiye) but if you can e mail i would be very happy cause i really still am not surewhat to do these are really great tires.What i understand from the post about wheels is overall diameter about 35'' or 36 '' is not a problem withdaystar 2.5 '' lift kit as long as the rims width stay between 7.5-8.5 .Backspacing, offset and (huble bore????) seems other issues.I think i will go for more search until i order cause these sets are almost close to 10 grand with spinners included.Thank you anyways

This is the Daystar section of the article:

Daystar 2.5 inch F150 leveler:

Rated lift: 2 inches

Maximum tire size: 33-inch (18x8 whell, 5-inch backspace) 35-inch

Trimming required: None with 33-inch tires. Likely with certain 35-inch tires.

notes: Daystar's 2-inch Comfort Ride kit consists of a pair of Durathane polyurethane spacers-one per side. The 2-inch lift levels the truck and allows tires up to 35 inches to be fitted without rubbing. Daystar specificall recommends a 33/12.5R-18 tire with the wheel noted above as having very good results.

I hope this helps.

 

Thanks wizard that is more helpfull so i guess i have to go with 20 '' rims if i insist on gettig those tires.Maybe a bazo b26 20x9 with spinner it allows 35 in offset i guess it will fit with little trimming by the way what the hell is hub bore???thanks

Hub bore is the size of the hole in the wheel for the hub. If you truck is a 4x4 I would make sure that the hub bore is large enough for the 4 wheel drive front hubs. Hub bore is the reason a lot of wheels designed for 2 wheel drive trucks and cars will not work on 4x4's
