I am looking for some aftermarket wheels / tires and everything I have read on this site says that I can run 35 inch BFG All Terrains on 17 inch aftermarket rims as long as the backspacing is close to OEM. The rims that I am looking at are the American Racing "Fuel" which are 17x8 with a +25mm offset and 5.5 inch backspace. Will these clear the brake calipers and provide enough backspace so they are not hanging out of the fender wells ?

My truck is a 2005 Screw/Lariat 4x4 with the OEM 18inch rims. Prior to wheels and tires it will receive an Autospring 2.5 inch front lift, hopefully next weekend.

Thanks

 

I don't know. You may have to just test fit one.

 

As Wandell said, FORD changed brake calipers on some of the newer batch of trucks so if the truck came with 18's I would stay with 18's or fit test one first before you take the plunge.

 

I looked at a lot of American Racing rims in the past and from what Im told the 17s will fit. Have the people your ordering the rims from double check just to make sure.

To answer the original question, yes, they will fit. I checked on those rims today for myself.
