its a long travel set up. i think 7" or so wider than stock but don't qoute me on that. i would stick with a 35, you dont wanna kill how much travel the suspension gets with to large of tires

since the vehicle isn't out yet, I would hold off on these type of questions. Just my 2 cents. No one can give you an honest answer.

It already comes with 35's, there looks to be enough room to pull either of those setups off.

HOWEVER! Someone smarter than me said that you should wait until the truck actually comes out. And you're talking about getting the 6.2L version and since there is no difference between the 5.4 and the 6.2 (other than the engine) you can wait until the 5.4 comes out, and talk to the dealer then.

i would get it first and then make a guess while you're looking at it. i have 37's on my truck which sits a little higher than stock ride height and is 8 inches (+4 per side) wider and only have minor running issues. it also depends on their stock 'flared' fenders. aftermarket fiberglass ones are not only flared out but up too to increase room for bigger tires. the fenders that come on it look just like the stock ones with plastic flares on so you might rub them with 37's. just look at it when you get it. with minor trimming and adjusting it should fit

Alright, since so many people are adamant about pursuing this topic.....

The Raptor is 7 inches wider than the F150. Now we're talking body here. The flares don't look too extreme, so really what you need to do is use the FX4 as a "base", and bring your measuring tape.

Or we can end all this hand wringing, and wait until THIS SUMMER for the damn thing to come out.

37x14.5 if you could. I always like a wide tire. If you look at my truck, I have 37x13.5 and wish I had another inch. https://www.f150online.com/forums/me...so-albums.html
