Transition to Mud Tires
Hi all. I’m new here. Any advise is greatly appreciated. I have a 2019 F150 XLT 4x4 that I recently had leveled. Now I’m ready to put a bigger/mud tire on the truck. I have the stock 17” rims. I’d like to put some 33x12.5 Nitto Mud or Trail Grappler tires on my stock rim. I’ve been told I need to put 2” spacers to clear the upper control arm. You guys see any other issues I need to be considered about? These are the spacers I bought.
Here is the truck with the stock rims.

I'd get slightly larger knobbier tires that will actually fit without using spacers. It would look good.
Use this tool with a tape measure: https://tiresize.com/calculator/
I did that with my truck and it fills in the wheel wells and looks very nice.
I think your truck would look great the same.
