Quick question about wheel and tire combo...

I am looking to just now get a new set of tires for my 05 SCREW FX4. I am trying to decide on which rims to get with which tires. The ones i want are 17x8 Mamba M2 rims and 315/70R17 BFG All-Terrain T/A KO's. Just need a yes or no if this will work or not. I have the 2" leveling kit up front as well. And for the record I got 60,000 miles out of the factory tires, ending with a trip from NM to FL.

If the backspacing is 5 1/2 inches you should have no problems. I've been running mine about 20k miles but I have a 2 1/2" leveling kit.

just caught that you said you had a 2.5" leveling kit. Do you think the .5" difference between yours and mine will make a difference?

They will all work fine. I have the same truck and a 2" autospring and I know they fit. We have test fitted them to it. Gimme a call to order.

Thanks.
