Will 17's fit

I have an 07 Screw FX4, looking at aquiring some 17" MB Predator's with an offset of 30 and stock backspacing. Was wondering if they will clear the rotors and calipers all right. I know 18's will fit but was unsure of 17's. And they are coming off an F150, but it's a 2 wheel drive. Thanks for the help.

They should fit, they had problem's with some '05 truck's clearing the brake's with aftermarket wheels but it's always best to test fit before you put on the whole tire and wheel assy. I put 17's on my '04 and have had no problem's clearing the brake's.

Make sure to ask if they will fit and ask and save the email. I bought some 17's from discount tire. They told me they would fit, they didn't. Thank god i tried to put them on before i got them pouder coated black or i would have been sol.

I agree. Always test fit the wheel first. When I purchased my Eagle 102's, they sent me the 5x5.5 inch bolt pattern instead of the 5x135mm.

The 17's that I am getting are off of a 2 wheel drive f150 and he has no problems with them fitting. I was just unsure if there is a difference between the brake calipers and rotors of a 2X to a 4X. And they too came from discount tire. He just wants to go back stock and put 20's on his where I want we he has. I'm gonna drive about 300 miles to meet him and do the swap then and there, just want to make sure I don't drive all the way there for nothing.
