I just registered to this site and i recently got a white f150 stx 2005 4x4. I bought a bunch of mods and am looking forward to put them on but i'm waiting to decide on the tires. I have bought fender flares, 18" moto metal black rims, procomp adda leaf, and 3" level kit for the front. I have already installed the magnaflow exhaust and it sounds great.

If i decided to put the 305-65-18 bfg A/T tires on the moto metal rims with the 4.81" backspacing and the -12 offset will i have any rubbing issues with the tires with the 3" leveling kit? thanks i would appreciate any responses because i want to order the wheels within the next couple of days. ANy other opnions on the tires. cuz the bfg are a little pricy. cooper stt some nice ones.. wil they last as long or comparibly to the bfgs?

 

Im currently running the those bfgoodrichs on 18x9 with 5 inch bs and 2 1/2 leveling kit and have minor rubbing.by the way the bfgoodrichs are for sale on ebay and in the classified section here.Im going to 35's so i dont need the bfg's now but i really liked them alot.

 

How wide are those rims? I do not think you will have any rubbing issues but it will be close. 5" to 6" backspacing would be best but you are not far off. I actually just bought me some bfgs that size. and they are nice. I like bfg's. I have not installed them yet as I am still waiting for my rims kmc monsters. hopefully I will get the rims next week. you will want to install the front end leveling kit before you put those tires on.

 

thanks man. ill check them out.

 

I was typing my post when you posted. just curious. if you have rubbing issues with a 34 inch tire why would you go bigger. did you ad a lift?

 

im doing a 3 inch body lift friday and its not letting me post them in the classifieds but they are on ebay under 305/65/18

 

the rims are 9" wide... u think they will rub?

 

mine only rub at full lock on front valance with minor trimming it should be fine.check my gallery pics to see how they look i have 18x9

 

yeah that is a real fresh look and i thnk i'm going for that. do u think mine will rub even more cause i got 4.81 backspacing? i really like what u did to that

 

your gone to stick out about .19 more so less then a 1/4 inch.i think youll be fine but wouldnt go bigger then a 305.plus youll be running a 3inch leveling kit an i have 2 1/2

 

thanks boss. ill put up my pics when i'm done. ill be sure to check out urs after friday. go E_A_G_L_E_S

 

no problem good luck, where you from,if your an eagles fan either philly or close by

 

yeah outside of the philadelphia area. hopefully next year. ur close by u an eagles fan? what do u think of the edge evolution? i'm trying to decide whether or not to buy one?

 

im near atlantic city but in philly every month for doctors.my mother in law is a fan so im forced to be lol.
Im also looking into a edge too trying to find out all i can too before i go for it.

 

Post pics when you get them on. I will when I get mine on if I ever get the rims. been waiting forever. they sent the wrong rims twice. they better not get it wrong a third time. next week I will know. I am hoping I do not have rubbing issues. but I may have to trim a little if it dose. I like these tires. I just hope they do not kill the gas milage. oh and I just got the edge this week and installed it. I really like it. I like the fact it lets you customize the programs if you want. you can even adjust the color of the display. and it mounts in a nice mounting pod that looks like it is part of the truck. fits nicely with the interior. it has timers in it that let you time 0-60 runs and 1/4 mile tests and see if your custom settings are hurting your performance or helping. when I first installed level 1 I was getting 0-60 times arround 10.2 seconds. then I learned what all the custom adjustments could be done and kept tweeking them till I got my 0-60 down to 8.6 seconds. that is with 87 octane. I wont try 93 octane till I run this program for a while and see what it feels like and what my gas milage is. then I will try the 93 octane to see what the performance and gas milage differances are. so far I have had no problems with it. been a lot of fun.
