What do i need to clear 33's
 
I have a 98 f150 with a leveling kit but really want to put some 33's and some different wheels... what size lift if anything do i need

check the search engine out...but most of the f150s come factory with 32 inch tires
so you shouldnt have any problem fitting a 33. just read up on your offsets/backspacing on your wheels to get the look you want. negative offset pushes the wheels out .positive offset stays in closer to the truck. good luck, there are a lot of nice trucks on here to check out and see what exactly you were looking for

are you 2wd or 4wd?

stock wheels or aftermarket wheels?

if aftermarket wheels what are the specs on them? (width and backspacing specifically)

once you answer those you will get a correct answer.

I'm assuming 2wd since he said leveling kit, unless he has those god awful aftermarket keys.

I have 35's with a 3" body lift and no rub at all.

You must be 4x4 then, there's no way you could do it on a 2wd.

x2. a BL and cranked bars you can run 37s. on a 2wd ud need atleast 8in to run 37s.

And that's with trimming. If the op is going with aftermarket wheels, it's a safe bet he'll need a minimum of 3" to clear 33's with possible minor trimming. See my sig for more info.

Just need to have 4wd. My truck has 33x12.5 and is 100% stock suspension.

Your truck is also a complete different bodystyle and suspension style....

01f1502wd Feb 15, 2012 09:40 PM

and 4wd....

Colins150 Feb 18, 2012 10:04 AM

mine is 4wd.... just want to get some 33's to look a little tougher look and want to still tow my drag car.... also was wondering if a edge or gryphon would help out on towing my car...

pizzaman711 Feb 18, 2012 11:12 AM

Wait your 4x4 and can't clear 33's?? You definitely should be able too. And by leveling kit did you just crank the torsion bars or did you get aftermarket?

Buxton91 Feb 18, 2012 11:14 AM

You should be able to clear 33's stock. With the front leveled there should be zero issues, even with aftermarket wheels.
