Rims and tires- need help with sizes.
Hi Im struggling with looking to buy new rims and tires. I have a 2002 f150 XLT (fx4) 4x4. I'll attach a photo. I'm thinking about lifting it 2" and then getting some bigger rims and tires. Right now I have stock rims. I am new to the whole truck world (I'm 18) and need help with finding big wheels that would make it look nice. I'm thinking 16-17" rims and 35" tires, but I'm confused how to convert that to metric and get it into the xx/xx/xx needed to search for rims/tires. I probably sound dumb, but I'm learning and need help!!! Thanks

Running a 2.5" strut spacer (goes over the coil spring up front to raise it up) and 2" wheel spacers got me to run 35" tires with a good bit of trimming out the fender... now mines a 06 so it's a little different in build but you may pull it off. As for rims check out amazon. Set your lug pattern in the search bar and set it to lowest to highest. Got my wheels for 50 bucks per. Here's what she looks like now.
Also for tire size on 35's you can either go 315/70 and few other combos... just use google. The last two numbers are rim size. Or go 35x12.50
