Hey guys, I'm looking to install some new rims and tires on my truck this summer after my TOYO A/T Open Country's go bald. (Not totally bald, but need replaced) And I want to fit the tallest, widest things I can underneath the truck without having to lift it. I've come to terms with the fact that I'm gonna need new fender trim, because the stupid factory trim goes down into the mud flaps and... ENDS! So even if I wanted to take the mud flaps off right now, I would have a big gap at the end of the trim. Let me know your measurements for fitting some big *** tires underneath a stock height 4X4 4.6 liter 1997 F-150. Thanks!

 

I'd suggest running a 33x12.50 tire on a 10 inch wide wheel with 4.5 inches of backspacing. You will have to trim a little plastic off the front bumper's lower valance for clearance. Whether you choose to run a 16, 17, 18 or 20 inch wheel is strictly a matter of personal preference.
