17x7 will not fit 35's?
 

I have my 2wd 04 f150 with a 3'' body and level kit. i have just been notified that i will need to buy at least a 17x9 wheel to fit a 35'' tire. is this true? i was going to put 35'' BFG AT on the factory rim.

no i dont think thats true i have 35 inch Pro Comp all terrains on my 2004 fx4 with 17 inch rims they may be 9 inches wide though im not sure b/c my truck is in the shop?

Alot of members here are running 35x12.50 on factory wheels with no problems.

RIght. The OEM 17 inch wheels are 7.5 inches wide. Most tire manufacturer recommend an 8 to 10 inch wide wheel for a 35x12.50 (315/70-17), but many members here and at FTW have run that combo for years with no problems.

ok thanks
 

i guess ill do it that way for now and when i get some more money, i wanted to put 17'' moto metal 951's. and im going with BFG A/T. thanks everybody, ill be getting these very soon! and ill post pics.

does anyone know if there will be any rubbing?

i have a 2004 fx4 with jus a leveling kit and 35 by 12.5 pro comps n the only time they rub is at full crank
