i have a 2002 f150 ext. cab 4x4 fx4 and i was wondering if i could fit a 17x9 wheel with a 33x12.50 tire without a whole lot of problems like a lift, trimming, or adjusting the torsion bars? also does anyone know the backspacing and lug pattern i have? thaxs for the help

 

Yes, they will fit pretty easily. If you go with a 17x9 inch wheel, you will probably have to trim a little plastic off the lower corner of the front bumper's lower valance. It is no big deal and is not noticable.
Also, your OEM wheels are 17x7.5 inches with 4 1/2 inches of backspacing and a 5x135mm bolt pattern.

 

the wheel that i am looking matches all the specs except the back spacing. the oem is 4.5in. but all they make is a 5 in. in the wheel i like. will that work?

 

Yes, most 17x9's for our trucks have 5 inches of backspacing. They will work fine.

 

thanks for all the help. ill post some pixs as soon as i get the truck done.
