ok i am very new to this stuff so you have to bare with me a little lol ok i want to get new tires for my f150 1997 i would like to get 33 inch desonations from fire stone but i dont now what to say for like the demetions i want them to be a wider tire and the rims to be offset so they stick out but not illegaly far. please help me out!

thanks

 

Do you have a 4x4? If you do I would recommend a 16x10 inch wheel with 4 1/2 inches of backspacing. As for 33 inch tires, you have two choices. A 305/70-16 is approximately a 33x12.50-16. A 285/75-16 is approximately a 33x11.50-16. With one of those tires on the above mentioned wheel, the edge of the wheel/tire will be just about even with the edge of your fenders. You will also have to trim a little plastic off the lower corner of the front bumper's lower valance. I have some pics in my gallary of my Screw with 285/75-16 BFG AT KO's on 16x10 Eagle Alloy 058's at stock height.

 

ok so will i need a lift then or no? i am also thinking about getting the rims offset will that work


thanks for your help

 

i want my tires to stick out about 2 inches so what kind of rims would people recomend me to get with them off set if any one has pics of some cool rims they like please post them so i can see

thanks

 

You won't need a lift to fit the 33's, if you have a 4x4. Almost all 16x10 inch wheels for our trucks have 4 1/2 or 4 5/8 inches of backspacing. If you find a wheel with less backspacing, you are gonna have fitment problems.

 

Here's some pics of my 4x4 Screw at stock height with 285/75-16 (33x11.50) BFG AT KO's on 16x10 Eagle Alloy 058's with 4 1/2 inches of backspacing.

 

wow i have to say your truck it KICK ***!

but isnt there any way i could have mine stick out a little farther?? i really like the way yours looks but i would just really like them to stick out a little more???


thanks

 

Like I said, if you do find a set of wheels with less backspacing, the tires are not gonna fit unless you lift the truck.

 

ok i guess i will get them with out them sticking out


thanks for all your help

oh ya how much will like a 3 inch body lift cost?

 

what do you think of these rims??

these rims

 

Those are nice. They are just another copy of the Mickey Thompson/Alcoa wheel like the Eagle 058's I used to have.
A 3 inch Performance Accessories body lift will usually run around $150 or so.

 

oh ok well thats not bad at all i thought it was like 350 or somthing

ya so cuz i really would like the tires to stick out so i will probably go with a lift still not positive on what tire i would like if any one could help out by recomending or any thing that would be great

thanks
