I have a 2002 F150 FX4. I am looking to upgrade to an 18in wheel w/ AT tires. I wondering what is the best size tire and backspacing combination without a lift. I already the Firestone Ride Rite in the rear, which raises it a little, I haven't made any adjustments to my torsion bars to raise the front any yet. I am currently on deployment so my research options are very limited, any help would greatly be appriciated.

I'd suggest an 18x9 to 18x10 inch wide wheel with 4.5 to 5 inches of backspacing with a 33x12.50-18 tire or a 325/60-18 (33x13.00). You will have to trim a little plastic off your front bumper's lower valance for clearance. I have some pics of this trimming in my gallary.
