16" to 16.5", can i?
I have a 98 F150 2wd that I am putting a 31/2" suspension and a 2" body on. I want to run 35's on it but the only ones I really like only come in 16.5 (bfg M/T 35/12.5R16.5) My stock rims are only 16" and I am wondering if anyone has done the same or knows if I can do it because of the dual hub system on the 2wd. Please help, wanna get started soon, Thanks, Phil

Well I don't know about the dual hub system but yes you can put the 16.5 inch wheels on your truck. Many people in the photo gallery have them. I've got a question for you. Who makes the body lift you're using? How much was it? and where did you get it from? I'm thinking about one.

JACKAL: DO YOU THINK I'M AN IDIOT!!!! GIVE ME A BREAK MAN. I DON'T NEED YOUR SARCASIM ABOUT THIS. I THINK IF I WAS SMART ENOUGH TO PURCHASE A 25,000 DOLLAR VEHICLE THAT I AM SMART ENOUGH TO KNOW THAT YOU CAN'T DO THAT. THANKS, BUT NO THANKS FOR YOU REPLY.
CCLA: I JUST PURCHASED MY FABTECH 31/2" LIFT FROM 4WHEEL PARTS WHOLESALERS. IF YOU GO INTO 4WHEELER MAGAZINE, YOU WILL SEE THERE ADD. I BOOUGHT THE LIFT FOR $100 LESS THAN WHAT FABTECH WAS SELLING IT FOR. ALSO GOT MY WHEELS AND TIRES FROM THERE. I GOT THE BFG M/T 33X12.50/16.50 WITH WELD "SCORPIO V" WHEELS (16.5X8.25) I DID A LOT OF RESEARCH TALKING TO PEOPLE FROM FABTECH, WELD AND BFG. I NOTICED IN YOUR PROFILE YOU WERE PLANNING ON PUTTING 33'S ON WITH YOU FABTECH LIFT. BE PREPARED MY FRIEND, YOU CAN ONLY PUT 16.5X8.25 VISE 9.75X16.5 ON WITH THIS LIFT (BECAUSE THE SPRINGS WILL RUB AGAINST THE SPINDLES) ALSO YOU CAN NOTY GO DOWN TO 15" BECAUSE OF THE DUAL HUB. THE ONLY TWO COMPANIES THAT MAKE WHEELS FOR YOUR TIRES AND LIFT ACCOMODATIONS, WHICH INCLUDES A 3 5/8" BACKSPACE ON THE WHEEL IS WELD AND CENTERLINE, WHICH ARE RATHER EXPENSIVE.. IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, FEEL FREE TO REPLY, MY LIFT IS GOING ON IN A WEEK AND A HALF (WIFES GOIN OUT OF TOWN!!!) I WILL COME BACK AND LET YOU KNOW HOW IT WENT... PHIL
