hey I just bought a 2005 F150 screw fx4 and it only has 24,000 miles at 5 years old!! Im planning on keeping it basic as possible with out swapping out a llot of stock parts while still getting a little height out of the deal. I do tow a boat and small trailers but other than that its a daily driver. level kit 33s or 35s let me know what everyone thinks thanks a lot much appreciated.

 

33's

 

I agree...33's. That's what I have on my truck. 2" level and 33" Toyo's, no rubbing at all.

 

WIth a leveling kit you can fit a 35x12.50 using the OEM wheels but they will rub the control arms slightly at full steering lock.

 

35's esp bc its a 4x4 you got the extra height

 

I'm running 34" Toyo MTs with a 2" leveling kit with no rubbing and no trimming... I also have 17 inch wheels with 4.56 inches of BS...

 

Yea if you can get 34 do it if not 33 is realy good but you can run 35 but it may rub at full turn just a hair

 

I run 315- 70- 17 BFG ATs on OEM rims, and like wandell said I only get rubbing at full lock.

 

Can I run a 17" wheel on an 04 FX4 with the factory 18's? Doesnt look like there is a lot of clearance around the brakes.

 

Yes.

 

Thanks wandell, that should save me a ton of money!

 

35's theyll rub like as the general consensus says i run 35's on my stock 18's and they rub so im thinkin 17's will too. I dont see how rim size affects tire size (some inlightment on this would be nice)?

 

Wheel diameter doesn't. But width and backspacing does.

 

I just want 17's so that the cost of the tires is lower. 18's prices are rediculous! Hell, 20's are cheaper than 18's!

 

whats the metric number for a 33? 34? 35? with an 18" wheel?
