Hey guys, I posted this in the OEM section, but I think I'll get a better response here.....so here's my story....

I'm a newb coming from the complete opposite end of the spectrum (just sold my 2004 Cobra). If everything works out I should be picking up a black 08 Supercrew XLT this Friday. Here are the wheels I'm looking at throwing on:

And I'll match it with some 285/70/17 BFGs or 295 Nittos. What backspacing do I need if I'm going with a 17 x 9 wheel?

Should I go with a 2.5" or a 2" leveling kit? My only concern is the TPMS. There are plenty of sites out there that will mount and balance my wheel/tire combo for a good price, but what do I do about the TPMS? Is there a way to use a programmer to turn the light off? Will I have to get my speedo re-calibrated with this tire size?

I might also look at 18s, but I just don't want to do 20s....my main concerns are the questions I asked....picking out wheels and tires will be easy...

 

I'd use a 9 inch wide wheel with 5 to 6 inches of backspacing. The 2 or 2.5 inch levleing kit will work fine. You do not have to have the speedo recalibrated, but it would be a good idea. As for the TPMS, you will either have to have the sensors moved to your new wheels or put up with the warning light.

 

Ok. Thanks for the help!
