I think they do in the front, my truck sat so high in the rear stock it looked like a raccoon. I used to drive truck's year's ago and still fool with them now. Who does your dad drive for?

Wow !

Those look fantastic !

From a personal standpoint, I keep walking up and checking out every F150 and tire + wheel combination I see in parking lots, and what I'm about to conclude, is that I'm fairly easy to please with width, but height is what fills the wheel wells, and what I really like to see !

My dillema is, I can pretty much afford to write a check for a brand new F150, and any tires and wheels I like...... but on a day to day basis, I'm a poor guy, who can't really afford the gas to turn wheels like those... especially if it continues to rise to $5, or $6 or more $$$ per gallon.

So, I'll have to try and be happy with little ol' 33"s.....

BTW, what does 12.5" width work out to in mm's ? 315 ? Really not that awefully wide, for 37" tall ! But again, like I say, I think I'm liking taller, but not so massively wide wheels, myself....

why? 37's and stock rims, i wouldnt try railing any corners with that setup. that truck could roll so easy being up that high and rims that narrow. i cant see how those dont rub, 35's will rub the upper control arms, let alone 37's?? 07 and 08's sit lower than the 04/05's did.

A 37x12.50 bfg All Terrain is only 36.3" tall so that helps. Also they don't have meaty side lugs like alot of other tires so that along with a narrow rim helps for width as well I'm sure. The offset of the stock wheel is probably helping as well.

Might not rub on the street, but guessin it still might rub when things are flexed.

i'm with you on that. 35x12.50-18's rub the uca on a fx4 rim, which i believe has the backspace as the 17's. that HAS to rub at full lock.
